In Paris, there appears to be very little social stigma attached to STI testing. It is seen as a normal and healthy choice made by responsible adults. | |||

* "There are a number of centre de dépistage and they are all anonymous. They are also all TOTALLY FREE OF CHARGE and no carte vitale is needed. I would recommend using a Red Cross centre as they have one located right in the middle of Paris (metro: Palais Royale Musee du Louvre) and most of the people working there speak English. Not being able to speak French is NOT a problem. If you don’t speak French, they can, and will, happily ask you the questions in English. After choosing your centre you can either call them to make an appointment (they will only ask you for your surname) or you can decide to go sans RDV (without an appointment). However, sans RDV is only available on Wednesday’s between 3 pm and 6 pm and as you don’t have an appointment you will have to wait…possibly for a long time. If you decide to book an appointment you will be seen very quickly, therefore I would definitely recommend booking before. Also, you generally have to book around two weeks in advance so be prepared for a small wait!" -- Read more on this [http://mylifelivingabroad.com/index.php/2016/02/01/getting-tested-in-paris/ blog post] about getting tested in paris | |||
