Sexual wellbeing in the Canary Islands through early detection, promotion, advice and empowerment.
The association was founded in 2022 when a small group of LGBT community members expressed concern about the lack of access to sexual health services, especially in southern Gran Canaria. Our funding has come primarily from individual donations, with significant support from our existing and current sponsors. We have not yet received any government or private grants. This has been a truly community-driven project, and everyone involved deserves recognition for their contributions. Since its inception in March 2023, we have conducted over 2,200 free rapid tests for people of approximately 65 nationalities, both residents and visitors. ABSICAN is registered in the Provincial Register of Associations under number G1/S1/26183-22/GC.

Es un gran placer para mí informarles que el 21 de enero de 2026 logramos otro objetivo histórico: la inauguración de nuestro propio centro multifunción en Maspalomas, un espacio que incluye una unidad clínica desde la cual continuamos con nuestra misión de ofrecer exámenes de salud sexual gratuitos tanto a residentes como a visitantes de toda la isla. Asistido por la Directora del Área de Salud de Gran Canaria, Dña Lidia Mejias, contamos con unas 45 personas como testigos de este logro. Es la culminación de más de casi tres años de trabajo de nuestros miembros y voluntarios, con el apoyo de una increíble base de partidarios.
