What Casda :: Pruebas rápidas VIH en Castelló does

CASDA – Asociación Ciudadana Contra el Sida de Castellón is a Spanish nonprofit association founded in 1997 and headquartered at Calle Río Turia 7, Castellón de la Plana. It operates as a community-based health and social services organization providing free, anonymous, and confidential rapid testing for HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis C, with results delivered in 20 minutes through its Centro Médico Casda facility. The organization's testing service is currently temporarily suspended while the medical service is being improved; however, all other programs remain operational.

The association delivers a broad portfolio of complementary services beyond testing, including psychological care (Atención Psicológica), mutual aid groups (GAM), harm reduction programs (CIBEREDUCADOR Y CHEMSEX), targeted prevention for men who have sex with men (HSHGB), post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) guidance, early diagnosis (DIAGNÓSTICO PRECOZ), youth information points (PIJ), and migrant support (MIGRANTES). It also operates registered residential and supportive housing services (LA LLAR and CALIU), employment orientation and labor integration programs (ORIENTA, Itinerarios de Integración Sociolaboral), and training programs including a virtual classroom and health agent formation. Malaria-style service offerings are anchored in a multidisciplinary team of approximately 23 employees coordinated by a volunteer board (President Emiliano Enmanuel Gil, Secretary Manuel Ruiz Borge, Treasurer Ricardo Mora Mallol).

CASDA's revenue model is grant- and subsidy-driven, with no direct user fees. Primary funding streams include national IRPF tax allocations (0.7%), regional Generalitat Valenciana departments (Conselleria de Sanitat, LABORA, social services, education), European Social Fund Plus (FSE+) for the 2021-2027 period, municipal subsidies from Castellón province (Castelló, Vila-real, Vinaròs, Benicarló), and corporate/philanthropic grants from pharmaceutical companies (Gilead Sciences, ViiV Healthcare) and foundations (Fundació Caixa Castelló, Fundación Ibercaja). The organization publishes annual reports, audits, and statutes as part of its transparency obligations and is a member of CESIDA, the state AIDS federation. There is no evidence of technology product development, AI/ML capabilities, commercial software offerings, or external equity ownership.

• Terrence Higgins Trust: UK's leading HIV/AIDS charity providing free testing, sexual health services, and support programs. Comparable community-based rapid testing and psychosocial support portfolio to CASDA, operating under the UK's NHS-funded service model.

Direct peers

• Apoyo Positivo: Madrid-based HIV/AIDS NGO offering HIV testing, psychological support, and prevention programs for vulnerable populations. Directly comparable community-service model to CASDA, operating in a different Spanish region.
