Quick Answer

Chatham-Kent patients can book a private video visit with a licensed doctor to discuss symptoms, exposure, and risk factors. The doctor issues a lab requisition for testing such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV; you attend a local collection site and review results confidentially. A licensed doctor reviews your intake before the visit and explains the safest next step.

How Online STI Testing Works for Chatham-Kent Patients

Online STI testing is a confidential, doctor-led process that spares rural Chatham-Kent residents a long drive. You describe your symptoms, recent contacts, and concerns by secure video, and a licensed doctor decides which tests are appropriate before issuing a laboratory requisition. The doctor may recommend testing if any of these apply to you:

Unprotected sex or a broken condom with a new or casual partner
A partner who told you they tested positive for an STI
Burning during urination, unusual discharge, or genital sores or itching
Routine screening before starting a new relationship
It has simply been a while since your last check-up

Which Tests Your Chatham-Kent Physician May Arrange

Testing is tailored to your history rather than ordered all at once. Chlamydia and gonorrhea are usually checked with a urine sample (NAAT) or a swab, while syphilis and HIV are detected through a blood draw. Hepatitis B and C or herpes testing is added when your symptoms or exposure suggest it. Samples are collected at an Ontario lab, so your requisition is sent to a LifeLabs or Dynacare site convenient to you across the municipality.

Understanding Window Periods Before You Test

Timing matters. Many infections are not detectable immediately after exposure, so testing too early can return a false negative. Your doctor will advise the right time to test and whether you should repeat a test later.

Chlamydia and gonorrhea can often be detected within roughly one to two weeks after exposure
HIV may take several weeks to become reliably detectable, depending on the test used
Syphilis can take three to six weeks to show on blood testing
If you test very soon after a possible exposure, a follow-up test is often recommended
Your doctor will confirm the best timing for your specific situation

When to Seek In-Person or Emergency Care

Online testing suits most routine screening, but some situations need urgent in-person care. For these, visit the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance emergency department or the nearest hospital emergency department.

A possible recent high-risk HIV exposure: PEP must be started within 72 hours, so seek urgent in-person care immediately
Severe pelvic or lower-abdominal pain, or testicular pain, with fever
High fever, severe genital sores, or feeling very unwell
Pregnancy with any STI symptoms or known exposure
Sexual assault: a hospital or sexual-assault care centre can provide immediate, comprehensive support

If a Result Is Positive

A positive result is manageable. Many STIs are curable and others are well controlled with treatment. Your doctor reviews the result with you, explains what it means, and prescribes or arranges the appropriate treatment. Where treatment involves medication, the prescription can be sent to a pharmacy near you, including Shoppers Drug Mart, Rexall, or Walmart Pharmacy in Chatham. The doctor will also discuss notifying recent partners so they can be tested too.
