Our city clinics for young people (Sense)
NOTE: Less possibilities voor STI testing!
From 20 December 2021 until the end of January 2022 we have less availability for STI testing due to the Corona vaccination booster campaign.
If you need an STI test you can apply for one through your general practitioner, via https://mantotman.nl/en or https://www.soaaids.nl/en/sti-test
We apologize for the inconvenience.

A Sense consultation and/or STI test, what can you expect from your appointment?

What can you expect during a Sense consultation?
A Sense appointment consists of a conversation about everything that can have to do with sex. Such as contraception, fertility, pain during sex and problems with erection. It depends on what you want to talk about. You can also contact us anonymously.
What can you expect with an STI test?
- The test is intended for people who have no physical complaints
- You take the samples for the test yourself
- If you have a penis, you pee, if you have a vagina, you get a cotton swab
- If necessary we take some blood. Your blood will then be tested for syphilis and HIV and, if necessary, hepatitis B
- The examination lasts between 15 and 30 minutes
- You will receive the results within 2 to 5 working days
- You can view the results of the STI test online using your individual own passcodes.

Appointments only
Is it free and anonymous?
We are happy to help you free of charge. Testing for STI’s is also free.
Everything you discuss with a nurse or doctor is confidential. Nurses and doctors are bound by professional secrecy. That means they are not allowed to talk to others about your conversation with them. This also means that no information is sent to your GP, parents or health insurance company. Information can only be sent to your GP if you give permission.
