Book Your Appointment Now
Courtenay patients can book a discreet virtual visit for chlamydia with TelePlus Care. A licensed doctor reviews symptoms, exposure, or a positive test and may order a urine NAAT test or treat with antibiotics such as doxycycline or azithromycin. A licensed doctor reviews your intake before the visit and explains the safest next step.
- Confidential video consultation with a licensed doctor for Comox Valley residents
- Antibiotic prescriptions sent to Shoppers Drug Mart, London Drugs, Save-On-Foods, or any Courtenay pharmacy
- Lab requisitions for urine NAAT testing sent to a LifeLabs collection site near you
- Your intake helps the clinician understand your symptoms, history, and goals before the visit.
Clinical content is reviewed for accuracy and scope. TelePlus Care appointments proceed only when clinically appropriate after a real assessment, and the doctor will explain the next step if virtual care is not the right fit.
What Is Chlamydia and How Courtenay Patients Recognize It
Chlamydia is a common bacterial sexually transmitted infection caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. It is often silent and produces no symptoms at all, which is why testing after a new partner or known exposure matters. When symptoms do appear, Courtenay patients may notice the following.
- Unusual discharge from the penis or vagina
- Burning or discomfort when urinating
- Pelvic or lower abdominal pain in women
- Pain or swelling in the testicles in men
- Bleeding between periods or after sex in women
Discreet Virtual Chlamydia Care for the Comox Valley
Walk-in clinics in Courtenay and Comox can carry long waits, and many people prefer to discuss an STI privately from home. Our virtual service connects you with a licensed doctor for a confidential assessment. The doctor reviews your symptoms, any known exposure, and prior test results, then orders testing or prescribes antibiotics as appropriate. If testing is needed to confirm the diagnosis, the doctor sends a requisition to a LifeLabs collection site near you for a urine NAAT test or swab.
Treatment, Partners, and Follow-Up
Chlamydia is treated with antibiotics, typically doxycycline as the first-line option or azithromycin as an alternative. Your prescription is not a controlled substance and can be filled at any Courtenay pharmacy, including Shoppers Drug Mart, London Drugs, Save-On-Foods Pharmacy, and independent pharmacies across the Comox Valley. To prevent reinfection and protect others, please keep the following in mind.
- Avoid sex until you and your partner(s) have completed treatment
- Recent sexual partners should also be tested and treated
- Take the full course of antibiotics exactly as prescribed
- A repeat test is generally recommended about three months after treatment
When to Seek In-Person or Emergency Care in Courtenay
Most uncomplicated chlamydia cases are well suited to virtual care, but some situations need an in-person assessment at the Comox Valley Hospital emergency department or your local clinic.
- Pregnancy with possible chlamydia exposure or symptoms
- Fever with severe pelvic or abdominal pain (possible pelvic inflammatory disease)
- Testicular pain or swelling in men
- Symptoms that persist or worsen after completing treatment
- Heavy or unusual vaginal bleeding

Why Treating Chlamydia Early Matters
Because chlamydia is frequently asymptomatic, it can go untreated and cause complications over time. Early assessment and treatment lower these risks for Courtenay residents.
- Untreated chlamydia can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women
- PID can cause infertility and increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy
- Untreated infection can be passed to sexual partners
- In men, untreated infection can cause epididymitis and testicular discomfort
