Last Saturday, 31 May 2025, the Medical School’s Mobile Clinic took part in Cyprus Pride 2025, partnering with the AIDS Solidarity Movement’s Cy Checkpoint to provide free, anonymous and rapid HIV and STI testing. Over 120 rapid tests were conducted, together with peer-counselling on adopting safer sexual practices.
This significant upgrade results from a partnership between the University of Nicosia and the Nicosia Race Club, following an agreement signed in October 2023. The School of Veterinary Medicine now manages the clinic, which serves as both an educational and research centre.
