Free HIV test
at Zurich Pride
Fri. 14.6 –
Sat. 15.6.
Landiwiese right on the lake
In 2024, the Zurich Pride Festival took place on the Landiwiese and we were represented with a permanent location on the festival grounds. We were open to visitors in our large tent, where we offered free HIV tests on both days of the festival.
Our presence on the festival site enabled us to reach the largest possible target group and facilitate access to testing. In addition to the checkpoint staff, drag queens and friends of the checkpoint were also on site to support and inform you. Our team was available to answer your questions.
Many people came by and took the opportunity to be tested anonymously and free of charge.

The Pride demonstration parade will take place on Saturday, 15 June and will lead through the city centre of Zurich. The route starts at Helvetiaplatz, passes Stauffacher and Paradeplatz, continues along General-Guisan-Quai and ends at Mythenquai.
You can look forward to great music on our float: DJs Achtung B. and Novilon will create a great atmosphere with their sets. Come along and celebrate with us!

Checkpoint Zürich
On the Tuesday before Pride, Checkpoint Zurich once again hosted an exciting panel discussion. The focus was on the needs of lesbians and queers. We discussed this important topic back in 2023 and will continue to do so. Together with our speakers, we researched the wishes, concerns and needs of the women-loving community with regard to their sexual health.
