What to expect at the clinic?

• Take a seat in the waiting area
• When your call number appears on the screen go to the reception desk

2. Being called

The receptionist will give you the materials you need to collect your own samples in the restroom. The receptionist will also let you know if blood tests or further examinations are required.

3. Examination

At the reception desk, you received the materials for self-sampling in the restroom:

• In the restroom, there is a screen with an instruction video. You can also watch this video on this webpage (on mobile devices it is displayed at the bottom of the page)
• After taking your samples, place them in the rack next to the restroom at the sliding window
• If blood or additional tests are required, return to the waiting area. When your number appears on the screen, go to the indicated examination room. Enter alone. If you brought someone with you, they must wait in the waiting area
• If no blood or additional tests are required, you are done after handing in your samples
