Who is obliged to seek health counselling and where does it take place?
All persons working in prostitution must receive health counselling at the Local Health Authority (“Gesundheitsamt”). Prostitutes are defined by law as persons who provide an erotic or sexual service (e.g. including erotic massage or escort services) for remuneration.
Health counselling is required by §10 ProstSchG for prostitutes when registering their work and has been available at the Frankfurt Health Office, Breite Gasse 28, since 1 July 2017. This is a consultation and NOT a medical examination. This is offered free of charge upon request: Gynaecological humanitarian consultation hourInternal Link
