Book Your Appointment Now
Ajax patients with possible gonorrhea symptoms or a recent exposure can book a confidential virtual visit with TelePlus Care. A licensed doctor reviews your history, orders urine or swab testing through LifeLabs or Dynacare, and advises on antibiotic treatment. Because of antibiotic resistance, an in-person injection may be required. A licensed doctor reviews your intake before the visit and explains the safest next step.
- Confidential same-day virtual gonorrhea consultation with a licensed doctor
- Testing requisitions sent to LifeLabs or Dynacare collection sites across Ajax and Durham Region
- Gonorrhea is often treated with an injection of ceftriaxone, which may require an in-person visit
- 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 Gonorrhea and How Ajax Patients Recognize It
Gonorrhea is a common bacterial sexually transmitted infection caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It frequently causes no symptoms at all, which is why testing after a possible exposure matters even if you feel fine. Book a confidential virtual visit if you notice any of the following:
- Unusual discharge from the penis, vagina, or rectum
- Burning or pain when urinating
- Pelvic or lower abdominal pain in women
- Testicular pain or swelling in men
- A sore throat or rectal discomfort after oral or anal exposure
Same-Day Virtual STI Care for Ajax
Walk-in clinics and sexual health services in Ajax and the wider Durham Region can carry long waits, and many patients prefer not to discuss STI concerns in a public setting. Our virtual service connects you with a licensed doctor quickly and privately. The doctor reviews your symptoms or exposure history and orders the right test. Diagnosis is usually confirmed with a urine NAAT test or a swab processed by the provincial lab. The doctor sends the requisition to a LifeLabs or Dynacare collection site near you.
How Gonorrhea Is Treated
Gonorrhea is treated with antibiotics. The standard approach is an injection of ceftriaxone, often given together with an oral antibiotic such as azithromycin. Because antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea is a growing concern, your doctor will advise the appropriate option, and an in-person visit may be needed to receive the injection. During and after treatment, please follow this guidance:
- Avoid all sexual contact until you and your partner have completed treatment and been cleared
- Recent sexual partners should be tested and treated to prevent reinfection
- Your doctor may recommend a test of cure to confirm the infection has resolved
- Complete the full course of any prescribed oral antibiotics
When to Seek In-Person or Emergency Care in Ajax
Many gonorrhea cases can be managed with virtual care plus testing, but certain situations require in-person evaluation. Ajax patients can attend Lakeridge Health Ajax Pickering Hospital or the nearest hospital emergency department for any of the following red flags:
- Pregnancy with a suspected or confirmed STI
- Fever with severe pelvic or abdominal pain (possible pelvic inflammatory disease)
- Eye redness, discharge, or pain that may indicate eye involvement
- Joint pain, swelling, or a widespread rash (possible disseminated infection)
- A need for an injectable antibiotic that must be given in person

- Step 2: A licensed doctor reviews your case
- Step 3: Connect by video or phone for a secure consultation
- Step 4: Receive a testing requisition for LifeLabs or Dynacare and a treatment plan

Why Untreated Gonorrhea Matters
Gonorrhea is highly treatable, but leaving it untreated can lead to serious complications. Early testing and treatment protect your health and that of your partners.
- In women, untreated infection can cause pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility
- In men, it can lead to painful inflammation of the testicles
- The infection can rarely spread through the bloodstream, causing disseminated infection
- Untreated STIs can increase the risk of acquiring other infections
- Confidential testing and treatment help break the chain of transmission across Durham Region
