Counselling appointments
If you need more support than we can provide via chat, an appointment might be a suitable solution for your needs. You can make an appointment for personal counselling. Hivpoint’s sexual health counselling is confidential and free of charge. At Hivpoint, it’s possible to attend to 1-5 sexual health counselling sessions.
The themes of the appointment may include, for example:
- Prevention of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (relationships, sexual pleasure and safety, prep, chemsex etc.)
- Fear of contracting HIV
- Sexuality (sexual orientation, preferences, etc.)
Sexual health counselling sessions are arranged at Hivpoint’s office in Helsinki. Appointments are anonymous, free of charge and confidential. In our services, we take into account the diversity of sexuality, gender and relationships. Sexual health counselling can be obtained in Finnish and English, and it is also possible to use interpreter services.
