Germany: good to know
- What visitors pay. The City of Stuttgart's health office tests for HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis and hepatitis anonymously and free of charge, by appointment. Its FAQ says no health insurance card is needed and that only a named test with a certificate (for visas, for example) costs a fee. The office says it is open to all residents; it does not mention visitors.Published by Landeshauptstadt Stuttgart· 22 Sep 2026
- PEP in this country. The city health office's FAQ says that after a risk contact in the last 72 hours you should go at once to the interdisciplinary emergency department of Klinikum Stuttgart at the Katharinenhospital, Kriegsbergstraße 60, where PEP can be considered. AIDS-Hilfe Stuttgart names the same department, open around the clock, and says to start ideally within 24 hours and at the latest within 72. Neither source says what a visitor without German insurance pays.Published by Landeshauptstadt Stuttgart· 22 Sep 2026
