Deutsche Aidshilfe - Anonymous and often free HIV and STI testing. “Call or make someone call beforehand to make an appointment if you’re getting checked in a Gesundheitsamt. If you choose to go to a doctor, your results won’t be anonymous and will go into a file, but if you’re insured, costs may be covered. Since 2018, HIV home testing is legal in Germany: The AIDS-Hilfe sells the tests online, pharmacies and drug stores sell them, too. Price point: 10–15 Euros (same in some Gesundheitsämter).” (Fulbrighter ‘18–‘19)

NDR Kommentar von Anne Wizorek
“Sadly from what I know, people are not using they/them pronouns in German - however, one friend uses all pronouns (sie/sie/ihr - she/her, er/ihn/ihm - he/him) in German interchangeably. That's all I know for right now...” (‘19-’20 Fulbrighter)
