AIDS-Hilfe Krefeld has been working in the city for around forty years. It advises and accompanies people living with HIV, does prevention work, and runs rapid HIV testing for Krefeld and the Kleve district. After many years on the Rheinstraße it moved to the Lewerentzstraße in December 2025.
The rooms hold a meeting point and an information centre as well as the offices, so it is somewhere to go rather than only somewhere to call. An anonymous telephone line takes questions from people who would rather not give a name at all.
It works with the local volunteer project that runs queer education in Krefeld's schools, which makes it one of the places where the city's community organises itself rather than purely a health service.
