About Checkpoint BLN
editCheckpoint BLN is a non-profit, community-based center for sexual health in Berlin, which sees itself as the first point of contact for counseling and treatment needs. Our main focus is on supporting the LGBTIQ* community by providing comprehensive services in the field of sexual health. This includes PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis), PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis), HIV/STI testing, as well as the treatment of sexually transmitted infections. In addition, we offer counseling on safe sex and substance use, including specific support for Chemsex topics.
Our mission is to promote the sexual health and well-being of our clients by providing a safe and supportive space where they can inform themselves about their health and receive counseling. We place great importance on inclusion and diversity and welcome people from all backgrounds. Our values are based on respect, openness, and the promotion of a healthy lifestyle.
Checkpoint BLN is a collaboration between Berliner Aids-Hilfe e.V., dagnä e.V., and Schwulenberatung Berlin. We work closely with doctors who specialize in HIV and sexual health and are funded by the Berlin Senate for Health, Care, and Equality.
Sustainability and social responsibility are central components of our work. We actively advocate for the reduction of discrimination and stigmatization and promote access to health services for all, regardless of their background or social status. Our facility is accessible, and we offer interpreting services in Arabic, Farsi, and Russian to break down language barriers.
We pay special attention to supporting people who practice Chemsex. Our Chemsex Check helps to weigh the pros and cons of substance use and define personal boundaries to protect health and minimize risks. We also offer personal counseling sessions to discuss individual goals and, if necessary, support changes in substance use.
Checkpoint BLN is committed to creating an innovative and supportive environment that addresses the needs of the community. We invite all interested parties to take advantage of our services and become part of our efforts to promote sexual health in Berlin.
