Description

During World Pride 2026 ikwilvanmijnsoaaf.nl stands for something bigger than just showing up. We stand for one another. For openness, health and breaking stigma — together. Let’s be honest: talking about STIs and testing still isn’t automatic. Many people keep it to themselves — from shame, fear, or simply because no one starts the conversation. That silence makes people feel alone when they are not. There is a whole community standing beside you.

We believe it can be different. That we can be there for each other by being open and breaking down the taboos around sexual health. By having the conversation. By making self-care and caring for others normal, without judgement and without shame.

That’s why we make testing as easy and accessible as possible. You can test simply, anonymously, safely and discreetly from home, when it suits you. And if the result is positive, we make sure you get quick and proper care, without fuss or barriers. We also support prevention with PrEP and PEP, so you can protect yourself and live, love and enjoy who you are with confidence.

With our participation in the Canal Parade we bring one clear message: don’t hide — get tested. Not as an obligation, but as something we carry together. Because your health isn’t only yours; it affects the people around you — your partners, your friends, your community.

There is already so much strength, love and pride within the LGBTQ+ community. A community where you can be yourself, be seen and support one another. That’s why we believe we can also take responsibility for our health together, rooted in that same connection.

This Pride we want to create a moment that sticks. A moment when it sinks in that you don’t need to hide, that you are welcome just as you are, and that taking good care of yourself is not weakness but strength.

Testing is not weakness. It’s care. It’s respect. It’s love. It’s standing strong together. #UNITY

“Don’t hide. Take pride”
