A combination of symptoms could be a early hiv-infection. Are you a man and did you have unprotected sex with an other man and do you have any of those symptoms? Then there is a possibility you have a hiv-infection. Reacting quickly is very important. Do the symptom test at hebikhiv.nl.

The public health service of Amsterdam endorses the following statement on U=U.

You can undergo a free test and, if necessary, receive treatment for an STI (sexually transmitted infection) at the STI Outpatient Clinic of the Public Health Service Amsterdam, provided you meet the criteria set by the RIVM [National Institute for Public Health and the Environment]. The STI Outpatient Clinic of the Public Health Service is an additional provision to GP care.
People without symptoms who wish to undergo an STI test for safety reasons are advised to visit their GP for an STI test.
Depending on your situation it may be the case that only certain STI tests are required (e.g. just chlamydia and gonorrhoea). This will be discussed with you during your visit. For additional assistance with sexual health queries (Sense), young people under the age of 25 can make an appointment free of charge.
