I want free condoms
Condoms are 99.9% effective when worn correctly and consistently.
Be safe with condoms
When used consistently and correctly, condoms are highly effective in preventing the spread of HIV and other STIs.
Buying condoms outside can be costly. The last we checked they cost about $10SGD for a box of three condoms. With us, you can get free condoms across all our channels!
At our Anonymous Testing Service (ATS) clinic and Mobile Testing Service (MTS) van, condoms are available for you to bring home. There’s no limit in how many you can take – we are more than happy to spread the safety!
Be safe with self-testing
HIV self-testing is where a person collects their own specimen (oral fluid or blood), performs a HIV test and interprets the result, often in a private setting.
Here in Singapore, a large proportion of the HIV cases notified had late-stage infection at the time of diagnosis (i.e., 53% and 62% of cases notified in 2020 and 2021 respectively), and the proportion detected through self-initiated HIV screening is relatively low (i.e., 16% of cases notified in 2020 and 2021).
If testing at our ATS or MTS proves to be a challenge, this can be a solution.
I want HIV Self-Testing (HIVST)
HIV Self-Testing (HIVST) kits are oral swabs fyi.
Be safe with PrEP
HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is an additional prevention strategy to reduce the chances of contracing HIV.
PrEP comprises of two antiretroviral medications that are combined into one single oral pill. It is offered as part of a comprehensive HIV/STI prevention package and not a solve-all solution. PrEP does not protect you against other sexually transmitted infections (STI) like syphilis or gonorrhoea.
Be safe with PEP
HIV Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) is a treatment option to prevent a HIV infection if you think you were exposed to the virus.
PEP is different from PrEP as PEP is used after the exposure has happened, compared to PrEP where it is taken before a possible exposure might happen. PEP comprises of two or more antiretroviral medications that are taken together as a cocktail regimen.
Be safe with DoxyPEP
Doxycycline Post-Exposure Prophylaxis or DoxyPEP refers to the treatment of potential STI (Sexually Transmitted Infections) exposures from sex via the use of doxycycline.
Doxycyline is an antibiotic commonly used to treat bacterial infections such as acne and pneumonia. It coincidentally also treats sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhoea and syphilis, and this can be used as a preventive measure to prevent these STIs from occuring.
