Migrants

Migration and health
People with a migration biography are often faced with complex problems. There are often language barriers, serious psychosomatic illnesses and traumata, or German structures and laws which make accessing the health service difficult. Our service is aimed at facilitating the access to assistance and advice for HIV-positive people with a migration biography, as well as to reduce discrimination and stigmatization within the respective communities.

For whom?
All people with a migration biography are very much welcome at Aidshilfe Düsseldorf.

What do we offer?
Advice and support in regards to HIV/Aids and sexuality in English and German in our own offices, as well as for example at hospital. We are happy to assist you in health care matters, but also in regards to social, legal and financial questions. In special cases we can accompany you at meetings with the authorities and help you with filling out the respective application forms.

Visit Aidshilfe Düsseldorf?
Many find it incredibly difficult to seek Aids support. There is a lot of fear within the communities to be ostracized and stigmatized. However, we are obliged to secrecy and work on a trustworthy and confidential basis. The events and consultations can be provided in various languages. We are able to include language and cultural interpreters. And: All our services are offered free of charge. Please contact us.

This service is kindly supported by the city of Düsseldorf.
