Vienna has inaugurated a new "lighthouse project": the "magnus*" center for sexual health, located within the Vienna AIDS Help House. This opening marks a significant expansion of services aimed at combating sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and promoting sexual well-being.

The new walk-in clinic provides accessible diagnostics, therapy, prevention services, and psychological support for individuals dealing with STIs. The facility is designed to be low-threshold, ensuring ease of access for all patients. It aims to cater to an estimated 30,000 patients each year and will operate with extended hours, open for 61 hours per week.

The Vienna AIDS Help House itself has a long-standing history, having opened nearly 30 years ago as a crucial milestone in the fight against HIV. The establishment of the "magnus*" center represents a continuation of the organization's commitment to public health and support for vulnerable communities.
