Calgarians can arrange discreet STI and STD testing without sitting in a busy clinic.

Book Your Appointment Now
TelePlus Care offers confidential online STI and STD testing for Calgary patients. A licensed doctor reviews your symptoms, recent exposures, and risk factors by video, then issues a laboratory requisition for tests such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV. You attend a local DynaLIFE collection site to provide urine, swab, or blood samples. Results are reviewed with you, and if a test is positive the doctor prescribes or arranges treatment. The doctor reviews your intake and explains whether virtual care is appropriate for your concern.
- Confidential video assessment with a licensed doctor, no busy waiting room
- Lab requisition for testing at a DynaLIFE collection site in Calgary
- Tests arranged may include chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis or herpes where indicated
- A licensed doctor reviews your intake and explains whether virtual care is appropriate.
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.
How Online STI Testing Works for Calgary Patients
Online STI testing through TelePlus Care is a doctor-led clinical service, not a guesswork home kit. A licensed doctor meets you by secure video, asks about your symptoms, recent partners, and risk factors, and determines which tests are appropriate. The doctor then issues a laboratory requisition, and you attend a local collection site to give the samples. Consider a confidential assessment if any of the following apply:
- Unusual discharge, burning during urination, or pelvic or genital discomfort
- A new partner, multiple partners, or a partner who tested positive
- A condom broke or you had sex without protection
- Sores, bumps, or a rash in the genital area
- You simply want a routine screen for peace of mind
Which Tests the Physician Can Arrange
There is no single STI test that catches everything, so the doctor tailors the requisition to your circumstances. Chlamydia and gonorrhea are usually checked with a urine NAAT or a swab, while syphilis and HIV are blood tests. Hepatitis and herpes testing is added when your history or symptoms warrant it. We do not publish panel details or invent results, DynaLIFE processes your samples and the doctor reviews what comes back. This is a laboratory and clinical service only. No controlled substances are involved at any point.
Why the Timing of Your Test Matters
Testing too soon can give a clear result that is not actually reliable yet. Each infection has a window period, the time between exposure and when a test can dependably detect it. HIV and syphilis, for instance, can take days to several weeks after exposure to show on a blood test, while chlamydia and gonorrhea are usually detectable sooner. During your visit the doctor explains the right timing for your situation and may recommend testing now and repeating after the window passes, so you get an accurate answer rather than false reassurance.
When to Seek In-Person or Emergency Care
Online testing suits most routine and lower-risk situations, but some circumstances need in-person or urgent care. In Calgary, go to the Foothills Medical Centre, Rockyview General Hospital, or South Health Campus emergency department, or call 911, if any of these red flags apply:
- A possible recent high-risk HIV exposure within the last 72 hours, which may need post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) started urgently in person
- Severe pelvic pain or testicular pain, especially with fever
- High fever, feeling very unwell, or spreading redness and swelling
- Pregnancy together with STI symptoms or a known exposure
- Severe symptoms that are rapidly getting worse
How Your TelePlus Care STI Visit Works
Booking takes only a couple of minutes from any Calgary location with internet access.

Results, Treatment, and Follow-Up
Once DynaLIFE completes your samples, the doctor reviews the results with you. If everything is negative, you receive clear guidance on whether and when to retest, particularly if you tested within a window period. If a result is positive, the doctor prescribes or arranges appropriate treatment and discusses notifying recent partners so they can be tested too. A prescription, when needed, can be filled at any Calgary pharmacy such as Shoppers Drug Mart, Rexall, Save-On-Foods Pharmacy, or your neighbourhood pharmacy.
