AIDS-Hilfe Karlsruhe (ZeSIA)

AIDS-Hilfe Karlsruhe e.V. is the city's HIV/AIDS-service and sexual-health organisation, operating the ZeSIA centre (Zentrum für sexuelle Gesundheit, Identität und Aufklärung) at Sophienstraße 102 in the Weststadt. It provides anonymous HIV and STI testing, prevention work, counselling and support, with a strong focus on the gay and wider queer community. Beyond health services, AIDS-Hilfe Karlsruhe is an active part of local LGBTQ+ life, involved in CSD and community events and running the queer-friendly Café Regenbogen. Visitors seeking testing, advice or community contacts will find it a welcoming resource.
