Health counselling according to ProstSchG

If you provide sexual services for money in Germany, you must receive regular health counselling in accordance with the Prostitutes Protection Act.

Description

We provide health counselling in accordance with Section 10 of the Prostitute Protection Act (ProstSchG). This is a legal obligation for all persons who provide sexual services for money in the Federal Republic of Germany.

Among other things, we provide counselling on

  • Contraception, birth control, pregnancy
  • Risks associated with alcohol and drug use
  • For persons under the age of 21, counselling is provided every 6 months.
  • For people over the age of 21, counselling is provided annually.
  • There must be no more than 3 months between health counselling and registration.
  • Registration and counselling are often not possible on the same day; please make an appointment in good time.
  • Due to local jurisdiction, we provide counselling to citizens who live or work in the city of Munich. All others should contact their local health authority.
  • The subsequent registration takes place at the competent authority of the city, in this case at the Munich District Administration Department.
  • The registration certificate is valid for one year for persons under the age of 21.
  • For persons over the age of 21, the registration certificate is valid for two years.
  • Counselling sessions are subject to confidentiality.
  • It is possible to use a certified interpreter for counselling, who is also bound to confidentiality. Special language-specific consultation hours are offered for this purpose.
  • The certificate is also available with a pseudonym ("stage name") to protect private data.
