ZeSIA

Since February 1, 2023, the AIDS-Hilfe Karlsruhe has been called ZeSIA – Center for Sexual Health, Identity, and Education Karlsruhe. The name change reflects the expanded scope of the counseling center: HIV is now well treatable, and while ZeSIA continues to provide information on it, the focus has broadened to include all aspects of sexual health.

Since 2010, ZeSIA has been offering "Checkpoint" services, providing testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. The center also advocates for diversity in sexual orientation and gender identity, offering support to individuals and working against discrimination.

ZeSIA remains a key resource for people living with HIV, offering counseling and support. 
Located at Sophienstraße 102, the center has six full-time staff members and serves Karlsruhe, the Karlsruhe district, Rastatt, the Rastatt district, and Baden-Baden.
