Free screening for tuberculosis, HIV and AIDS and hepatitis.

It is a medical test to find out if you are infected.

Why is it interesting?

At the beginning of the infection, there are no signs.

It is important to know if you are sick to:

have treatment and be cured
do not transmit the disease, it is contagious.

Screening is free.

It is possible to be a carrier of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus, an infection before AIDS) without knowing it.

It is important to know if you are infected:

not to transmit the virus, it is contagious
to get in touch with a doctor to get free treatment: treatment allows you to have a long and normal life, with the possibility of having children
to have information on means of protection.

Screening is free.

You may have the hepatitis virus and not know it.

It is important to know if you are sick:

to put in contact with a doctor for support and free treatment if necessary
not to transmit the virus, it is contagious
to have information on means of protection
to get a hepatitis B vaccine, depending on your situation.

Screening is free.

How to do it?

The screening centre team travels to structures which accommodate exiled persons (asylum seekers, beneficiaries of subsidiary and temporary protection, stateless persons), for example in the CPH.

Ask a professional at your accommodation centre to tell you which day you can get tested.
