That is a fundamental right and therefore it also applies\u00a0for\u00a0prostitutes and their customers.<\/p>\n<p>Although it&#8217;s not mandatory to get tested, the Dutch government and several Dutch organizations promote STD testing\u00a0for these 3 groups (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/nl\/news\/amsterdam-prostitution-menu\/\">sekswerkers<\/a>, youths\u00a0and gays) by offering them for free.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stricter_Rules_To_Get_A_Free_STD_Test_In_Holland\"><\/span>Stricter Rules To Get A\u00a0Free STD Test In Holland<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21841\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Amsterdam-Condomerie-Shop.jpg\" alt=\"condomerie shop amsterdam\" width=\"1000\" height=\"844\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Amsterdam-Condomerie-Shop.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Amsterdam-Condomerie-Shop-300x253.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Amsterdam-Condomerie-Shop-768x648.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Amsterdam-Condomerie-Shop-600x506.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The 2015 stricter rules were implemented for getting a free STD test and the total number of STD tests that could be done by GGD&#8217;s was decreased. Only people who are a part of so called \u201chigh risk groups\u201d can get a free STD test in Holland.<\/p>\n<p>Youths under the age of 25, homosexuals and sex workers are considered high risk groups. Those not part of a high risk group can still get a free STD test in Holland if they are warned by their sexual partner, have obvious symptoms, or if they had sex with someone from a high risk group.<\/p>\n<p>The GGD\u2019s determine via a screening procedure if people are granted the free STD test. People who are not part of the aforementioned high-risk categories have to go to their general practitioner. You often have to pay your own bill if you get tested there because of the obligatory deductible that comes with health insurance in Holland. The bill for a STD test can run up to 200 Euro and doing the test at your general practitioner is of course less anonymous.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Excuses_Excuses\"><\/span>Excuses, Excuses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>These rules and costs give big incentives to people to make up symptoms, lie about their age or exaggerate their sexual past.

Statistics also show that people don&#8217;t\u00a0always tell the truth. \u201cWe know that with certain typical excuses, less STD\u2019s will be found than expected\u201d, states a spokesperson for GGD\u00a0Noord- en Oost-Gelderland. \u201cThe detection percentage is remarkably low\u201d.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Costs_Push_People_To_Lie\"><\/span>Costs Push People To Lie<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9979 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Amsterdam-Condom-Shop-Safe-Sex.jpg\" alt=\"sti testing netherlands safe sex condom\" width=\"714\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Amsterdam-Condom-Shop-Safe-Sex.jpg 714w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Amsterdam-Condom-Shop-Safe-Sex-268x300.jpg 268w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 714px) 100vw, 714px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Dutch RIVM, responsible for coordinating the national health services, recognises the observations. \u201cDespite a strict screening, people are able to get a free STD test in Holland.

This is in part due to the fact that less people can be tested. However, the detection percentage has increased, which means that more just applicants have been tested. For this reason GGD\u2019s are still satisfied with the current state of the program. \u201cOur detection percentage has been increasing for years\u201d, states GGD\u00a0for the Utrecht region. \u201cWe\u2019ve observed that also the right people get a consultation!\u201d.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Increase_In_Sexually_Transmitted_Diseases_In_Holland\"><\/span>Increase In Sexually Transmitted Diseases In Holland<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21843\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Condoms-Near-Me.jpg\" alt=\"condoms near me\" width=\"1000\" height=\"546\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Condoms-Near-Me.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Condoms-Near-Me-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Condoms-Near-Me-768x419.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Condoms-Near-Me-600x328.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>STI\u00a0Statistics<\/h4>\n<p>A total of 66,000 people were tested in the first half of 2016.
