It’s been a long time coming but the city of Nice now has its own dedicated sexual health space for LGBTQIA+ people.
This is the result of an innovative collaboration between the Côte d'Azur LGBTQIA+ Center and the Alpes-Maritimes Department.
Although still considered a pilot project, 8 Baquis offers services every Friday from 11 am to 9 pm at the CEGIDD, at 8 avenue Baquis, in Nice.
Trained in LGBTQIA+ health and issues related to sexual health and HIV, these health professionals intervene at 8 Baquis and have a caring and inclusive approach with specialists in psychologists, gynecologists, addiction counselors, dermatology, infection specialists, proctologist, nurses, etc.
The aim is to provide consistent care and services at 8 Baquis in: HIV and STI screening and prevention, PrEP initiation and follow-up, post-exposure treatment delivery, Chemex support, gynecology for lesbian and trans people, hormonal follow-up for trans people, access to rights and support in the face of discrimination, workshops and debates on LGBTQIA+ health, vaccinations, teleconsultations, and community reception.
This is all done with the support of the ARS PACA, the CHU of Nice, the Region SUD, the Groupe SOS, ENIPSE, and the institutional support of GILEAD and VIIV Healthcare.
