People in Airdrie, Crossfield and nearby Rocky View County can book STI and STD testing visits with TelePlus Care from 8 AM to 7 PM Mountain Time, seven days a week. The doctor reviews symptoms and exposure timing, sends a requisition for a community lab collection site, and treats or explains next steps after results.
Clinical content is reviewed for accuracy and scope. TelePlus Care appointments go ahead only when a doctor agrees it is the right call, after a real assessment, and the doctor will explain the next step if virtual care is not the right fit.
You might, if you've had sex with a new partner, had a condom break, or noticed something that doesn't feel right. Plenty of people with an STI have no symptoms at all, so a routine check can make sense even when you feel fine. A private visit with a Canadian licensed doctor is a simple way to sort out what testing you need, without a referral and without leaving Airdrie.

The doctor asks about your symptoms, when the possible exposure happened, the kind of sex you had, and whether you've been tested before. These questions can feel personal, but they're routine, and your answers decide which tests go on the requisition. That might be a urine sample, a swab, blood work, or a mix. If you're testing soon after an exposure, the doctor will explain whether a result now could miss something and when a repeat test is worth doing.

Once you have a requisition, take it to a community lab collection site. Airdrie has one at 217 Centre Avenue SW, in the Patient Service Centre. Its listing shows walk-ins and booked appointments on weekdays, and booked appointments only on Saturdays, but hours can change, so check before you go. If it's easier to give samples near work in Calgary, a collection site there can use the same requisition. Bring your Alberta Health Card.

Airdrie doesn't have a hospital, so it helps to know your options before you need them. The Airdrie Community Health Centre at 604 Main Street S has urgent care open 24 hours for problems that can't wait but aren't life-threatening. Emergencies are handled at Calgary hospitals, so call 911 for severe symptoms rather than driving yourself. A possible HIV exposure is time-sensitive: PEP must be started within 72 hours, so get in-person care right away instead of waiting for a virtual visit.

The lab sends results to the doctor who ordered your tests, and the doctor reviews them with you. If a test is positive, you'll talk about treatment when it's appropriate, whether to retest later, and how to let recent partners know. Some STIs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis and HIV, are reportable in Alberta. For those, nurses from the provincial STI services program may contact you about follow-up, and they can notify partners without sharing your name.

The visit is free with an active Alberta Health Card. If you don't have an active card, the price is $80. When the doctor prescribes treatment, the pharmacy charges for the medication separately, depending on your drug coverage. You can book directly, without a referral, and you don't need a family doctor. Men's sexual health concerns such as erectile dysfunction are a separate paid program and aren't part of an STI testing visit.

For regular screening and anything that needs a hands-on exam, a family doctor is worth having. Highland Primary Care Network serves Airdrie, and Alberta Find a Provider shows which local clinics and doctors are taking new patients. People in Crossfield, Irricana, Beiseker and Balzac can book TelePlus Care the same way, since the visit happens by phone or video. When you're not sure whether something can wait, Health Link 811 connects you with a nurse at any hour.
