Here are a few questions that will help you book a ticket to the right stage.
- Do you want to know about the latest trends in STBBI screening and be able to ask all your questions about sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBIs)?
- Are you under 25?
- Don’t have a valid RAMQ card?
- Is it itchy or burning down there?
- You have the afternoon off and you don’t have any symptoms?
- Are you “the simpler, the better” type?
- Are you the kind of person who’s always on the guest list? Do you consider receiving test results as quickly as possible to be priceless?
Do you want to know about the latest trends in STBBI screening and be able to ask all your questions about sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBIs)?
Clinics like Prelib that specialize in sexual health offer you a VIP screening experience with online booking and a medical consultation all in the comfort of your own living room.
Are you under 25?
There are youth clinics in several CLSCs and several youth organizations that provide walk-in screening services. If you are under the age of 18, you can make an appointment with one of our participating clinics by selecting the “under 18” option. You can also check whether it is possible to get tested with a nurse at your school (high school, CEGEP, or select universities).
Don’t have a valid RAMQ card?
Some screening clinics offer services without needing to be covered by RAMQ. You can search for clinics that offer “free” services without RAMQ when you want to make an appointment. You can also go to a SIDEP screening clinic (website available in French only) or a Doctors of the World mobile clinic.
Is it itchy or burning down there?
If you believe that you have STBBI symptoms, you should make an appointment for a medical consultation rather than going in for a simple screening. Look for clinics that mention that they offer medical consultations when looking to make an appointment.
You have the afternoon off and you don’t have any symptoms?
Several clinics have walk-in or quick appointment openings. Bring a good book and choose the “walk-in” option among our participating clinics to find a place near you.
Are you “the simpler, the better” type?
Prelib offers an online consultation, after which you can go to one of their screening centres (in Montreal or Quebec).
Are you the kind of person who’s always on the guest list? Do you consider receiving test results as quickly as possible to be priceless?
Go to a private clinic for a quick appointment with a price tag (like Biron) to skip long lines, receive quality service, and receive your test results quickly (fees can vary between $75 and $252).
