The NZAF Āwhina Centre is based on Willis Street in central Wellington.  We offer testing and support services through a team of full qualified professionals in the area of HIV, who have over twenty years experience working with individuals, couples, family and whānau. 

STI Clinic

Alongside it's normal HIV and syphilis FASTest service and theraputic services (which can be accessed Monday - Friday, 9am to 5pm), the NZAF has joined with Compass Health and Wellington Sexual Health Services to provide a full sexual health screening service for men. The weekly Sexual Health Clinics will take place every Wednesday between 4pm and 7pm.  

The screening, which takes place in a specially designated and refitted room in the NZAF Āwhina Centre, is free of charge and is done by a qualified sexual health nurse.  Alongside the comprehensive sexually transmitted infection (STI) screening, users of the service can be tested for HIV, syphilis and Hepatitis C using the Rapid tests.  Having an STI can make it easier to catch HIV.  The sexual health clinics complement the existing testing and therapeutic services offered by the NZAF Āwhina Centre.  We ask that you refrain from urinating at least two hours before attending the clinic.

Services are free, independent and confidential for anyone.  We have staff from many different backgrounds and health disciplines, who will work in partnership with you to best meet your needs.  For more about how our counsellors, social workers or psychotherapists work, go to our Talking to Someone section.

The NZAF Āwhina Centre uses a rapid testing service to anyone who believes they may have been at risk of acquiring HIV or syphilis.
