CENTRE MÉDICO-SOCIAL
What's a medical-social center? It is a free and open place for everyone who has personal and family difficulties. You will be welcomed, listened to and supported. You will find answers to your questions about access to rights, medical education, medical follow-up. The rue des Charrettes also provides testing for sexually transmitted infections (stis), including AIDS. Above all, it offers the possibility to opt for a rapid HIV test, which allows a result in 30 minutes! It takes a drop of blood at the end of the finger and is completely reliable three months after possible risk taking. A "classic" HIV test, by blood, is 100% reliable much earlier. If you think there is a risk, it is possible to come without appointment, no later than 48 hours after the report. At the least doubt, or even by common sense, do a test at the screening center. Hospitals or emergencies can also test you.
