HIV SCHNELL TEST

Several places in Berlin do an "HIV Schnell Test" – HIV quick test to you. We decided to try the one at Mannometer. They have it every 1st, 2nd and 3rd Thursday of the month from 17.00 to 20.30 the cost is 15€. It's not so fast - it takes about two hours - and you need basic German to answer the serious written and oral questions.

Mannometer - DD review

Mannometer is a gay drop in centre in Schöneberg the centre of gay Berlin. They dispense advice, sell coffee, occasionally have art openings with alcohol or speed chess competitions, and sell condoms, lube and other useful things at reasonable prices. One speciality is their quick HIV test. Every 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month from 17.00 to 20.30. Cost = 15€. Look for HIV Schnelltest on their website.

Top tip: Gay Berliners call lube gel. It's pronounced with a hard g. So a useful phrase is Haben Sie Kondome und Gel, bitte? Means: Have you got condoms and lube, please? Pronounced: Harben zee condomer oond gel, bitter? Sadly, even in sex bars, the answer is often Nein (No.)
