Centrum Seksuele Gezondheid

What Centrum Seksuele Gezondheid does

Centrum Seksuele Gezondheid (CSG) Haaglanden is a municipal sexual health clinic and department of GGD Haaglanden, the public health service of The Hague, Netherlands. It provides free, confidential sexual health services to defined target populations in the Haaglanden region, including youth under 25, sex workers, men who have sex with men (MSM), transgender and non-binary persons, undocumented persons, and victims of sexual violence. The service portfolio covers STI testing and treatment (chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis), HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), contraception and emergency contraception, HPV, hepatitis B and mpox vaccinations, partner notification, gender identity support, and post-assault care with referrals to Centrum Seksueel Geweld.

The organization runs on a basic digital infrastructure: a web-based appointment booking portal (denhaag-afspraak.ggdaphrodite.nl), a secure online results platform (uitslagsoatest.nl) using per-patient access codes, a video consultation channel for under-25s, and integrations with partnerwaarschuwing.nl for anonymous partner notification, ZIZ for symptom photo triage, Testlab Man tot Man for MSM home testing, and ReadSpeaker for web accessibility. Walk-in clinics operate at partner locations including Spot46 (for sex workers) and Westland (Sense youth clinic), and the main clinic sits on the first floor of GGD Haaglanden's headquarters at Westeinde 128, Den Haag. Quality and information security are supported by ISO 9001 and NEN 7510 certifications held at the parent organization level.

The business model is entirely publicly funded: CSG is a government entity with no commercial revenue, no investor base, and no external ownership beyond the municipality of The Hague. All eligible services are free at point of use, with no ID required and no data shared with insurance or general practitioners. Client acquisition is non-commercial, driven by referrals from a dense regional partner network (JIP, Spot46, SHOP, Sense, Man tot Man, Centrum Seksueel Geweld, Veilig Thuis, Soa Aids Nederland) and organic channels including a website, Instagram, and LinkedIn pages. No paid advertising is used.

Direct peers

• GGD Amsterdam — Centrum Seksuele Gezondheid & SOA Poli: The Amsterdam municipal public sexual health clinic, also part of a GGD, providing STI testing, PrEP/PEP, and vaccinations to overlapping at-risk populations (MSM, youth, sex workers). Operates under the same Dutch public-health framework as CSG Haaglanden, making it the closest structural analog.
• Melbourne Sexual Health Centre: Major publicly funded Australian sexual health clinic offering free STI testing, treatment, and HIV prevention to priority populations. Comparable scope of clinical services, free-access model, and vulnerable-population focus.
• 56 Dean Street (Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS): Iconic London NHS sexual health clinic specializing in free STI/HIV testing, PrEP, and LGBTQ+ care — the closest international structural analog to CSG Haaglanden in terms of publicly funded, walk-in, high-volume urban sexual health services.
• GGD Utrecht — Seksuele Gezondheid: Utrecht's regional GGD sexual health service providing free STI/HIV prevention, testing, and Sense youth consultations under the same national municipal health framework.
• GGD Rotterdam-Rijnmond — Centrum Seksuele Gezondheid: Rotterdam's regional GGD sexual health clinic offering STI testing, PrEP care, and free confidential services to similar target groups. Same institutional model and funding structure as CSG Haaglanden, just in a different Dutch region.

Broad incumbents

• Soa Aids Nederland: National knowledge center for HIV and STI prevention that sets clinical protocols, runs public campaigns, and coordinates policy across all Dutch GGD sexual health clinics — including CSG Haaglanden. Not a service-delivery peer but a sector-defining incumbent.
• Centrum Seksueel Geweld (CSG / Fier): National network of centers providing integrated medical, psychological, and legal support to victims of sexual violence. CSG Haaglanden refers victims to this network for GBV care, overlapping on the sexual violence response use case.

Emerging players

• Testlab Man tot Man: National online STI testing service for MSM that partners with CSG Haaglanden to deliver home test kits. Overlaps directly with CSG's MSM testing use case and competes for the same digital-native demographic.
• Sense (Rutgers / nationaal): National sexual health information and counseling service for youth under 25, where CSG Haaglanden operates the Sense consultation hour (spreekuur). Partial overlap on youth information/counseling services.

Others

• SHOP Den Haag: Knowledge and expertise center for sex workers and human trafficking in The Hague that operates Spot46 and collaborates closely with CSG. Functions as an upstream referral partner and ecosystem enabler rather than a competitor.
