Ready for a test?
Once you’ve decided you want to get tested for sexually transmitted infections, you obviously need to know where to go. There are many clinics and youth clinics in the Stockholm area where you can go to get tested. Most also give you the chance to talk about testing and other questions related to STIs. You’re entitled to get tested free of charge and have free treatment for STIs that come under the Swedish Communicable Diseases Act. This applies to chlamydia, gonorrhoea, hepatitis, HIV, and syphilis.
Below are the addresses and phone numbers of various clinics in the Stockholm area. Bear in mind that you usually have to make an appointment for a test. At some clinics you do not have to make an appointment, then it usually says ‘Drop In’ on the website.
