Aidshilfe Wuppertal calls itself a centre for health, sexuality and self-determination in the Bergisches Land, which is a wider brief than the name suggests. HIV is the core of it, but a large part of the work is aimed at queer people in the city.
The office on Simonsstraße in Arrenberg does HIV and STI testing and counselling, runs self-help groups, and has psychological counselling for men who have sex with men. It also does sexual education work with young people, trains professionals, and keeps free information material on hand.
It is one of the organisations behind Wuppertal's queer centre and part of the city's queer network. There is a second office in Remscheid. The website is in German and English, which is worth knowing if you are passing through.
