If there are no delays, you will need about an hour for the consultation and the tests (HIV, syphilis, HEP C).
If you have very little time, please enquire at reception about the approximate waiting time. We make every effort to offer you good test advice and thank you for your understanding.
In the event of an HIV infection, we will refer you to competent medical professionals who specialize in HIV for further clarification.
We are bound by medical confidentiality and guarantee that your data will be treated confidentially.
If you have any questions regarding your health insurance, financial situation, right of residence or your personal environment, you can get free, personal advice from the Verein Sexuelle Gesundheit Zürich SeGZ.
You can find these on the website of the Verein Sexuelle Gesundheit Zürich.
The chlamydia and gonococcal test (gonorrhea) should be carried out at the earliest 14 days after a risk contact.
The test is carried out using a urethral swab, throat swab or vaginal swab and can be performed very easily at our test center. In the Dr. Risch laboratory in Buchs SG, the test swabs are examined directly for pathogens.
ATTENTION: People with a penis should not urinate for at least two hours before performing the test. People with a vagina who are menstruating should not perform the test during menstruation.
After three to four working days you will receive a text message with the test results. At the earliest four working days after the smear test, the test result can be requested with your individual number from the telephone counseling service of Sexual Health Zurich SeGZ at the following times:
Monday 12:10 - 15:00
Wednesday 13:30 - 16:30
Friday 14:00-17:00
Tel: 044 455 59 15
At TEST-IN we can offer you a 4th generation HIV rapid test. The rapid test shows antibodies and antigens in your blood in the event of an HIV infection. A rapid test can be carried out 6 weeks after a risk situation. Before that, the results are not meaningful.
HIV rapid tests show you the result after 20 minutes. In the case of a reactive rapid test, a confirmation test must be carried out (laboratory sample) to confirm the results or give the all-clear.
People with a penis should not urinate for at least 90 minutes before the test. People with a vulva who are menstruating should not perform the test during heavy bleeding. A small amount of blood is not a problem.
After two to four working days, you will receive a text message with the test results. If the result does not reach you or you have any questions, you are welcome to contact the telephone counseling service of the Verein Sexuelle Gesundheit Zürich SeGZ using your personal SeGZ code. You can find the telephone number and opening hours here.
If you have questions about your health insurance, financial situation, right of residence or your personal environment, you can get free and personal advice from Sexual Health Zurich SeGZ.
