Edmundston and Madawaska County residents can arrange discreet STI/STD testing from home.

Edmundston residents can book a confidential virtual STI/STD visit with TelePlus Care. A licensed doctor reviews your exposure history and risk factors, then issues a lab requisition for provincial testing through Vitalité Health Network. You attend a local collection site to provide samples; results are reviewed and treatment prescribed or arranged if positive. A licensed doctor reviews your intake before the visit and explains the safest next step.
- Confidential video visit with a licensed doctor, often the same day
- Lab requisition issued for testing through Vitalité Health Network collection sites
- Your intake helps the clinician understand your symptoms, history, and goals before the visit.
- Many early-stage STIs cause no symptoms, so testing is the only reliable way to know your status
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.
Who Should Consider STI Testing in Edmundston
Getting tested is a normal part of looking after your health. Because many sexually transmitted infections cause no symptoms early on, screening is the only dependable way to know your status. Consider a confidential visit if any of these describe your situation:
- You have a new partner or more than one sexual partner
- A condom failed or you had an unprotected encounter
- A partner has told you they were diagnosed with an STI
- You have discharge, burning when you urinate, sores, or unusual bleeding
- You want routine screening, especially if you are under 25 and sexually active
- You are planning a pregnancy and want a pre-conception screen
What Tests Your Physician May Arrange
Your licensed doctor chooses the tests that fit your exposure history and symptoms. The requisition lists only what is clinically appropriate, not a fixed bundle. Tests commonly arranged include:
- Chlamydia and gonorrhea, usually a urine NAAT or a swab depending on the exposure site
- Syphilis, by blood test
- HIV, by blood test using a combined antibody and antigen assay
- Hepatitis B and C testing where exposure history suggests it
- Herpes testing, generally only when there is an active lesion to swab
How Your Edmundston Virtual Visit Works
The whole process is private, with no crowded waiting room and no chart visible to anyone else. It works the same way whether you live in central Edmundston, Saint-Basile, or Saint-Jacques.
- Step 1: Complete a private intake describing your symptoms, recent exposures, and concerns
- Step 2: Meet your licensed doctor by secure video to discuss the right tests and timing
- Step 3: Receive a Vitalité lab requisition and attend a local collection site to provide your samples
- Step 4: Your doctor reviews the results and, if anything is positive, prescribes or arranges treatment
Window Periods: When Testing Is Accurate
Testing too early can give a false-negative result, because some infections take time after exposure to become detectable. This delay is called the window period, and your doctor will help you time your testing so the results are reliable.
- Chlamydia and gonorrhea usually become detectable within roughly one to two weeks
- HIV may take several weeks to be reliably detected, with confirmatory testing later
- Syphilis can take several weeks after exposure to appear on a blood test
- Hepatitis testing may need repeating weeks later to confirm a result
- If you have had a recent high-risk exposure, do not wait for the window period before seeking advice about urgent prevention
When to Seek In-Person or Emergency Care
Online testing suits most people, but certain situations need an in-person assessment. For the following red flags, go to the emergency department at the Edmundston Regional Hospital or call 911:
- A possible recent high-risk HIV exposure, since post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) must be started within 72 hours and requires urgent in-person care
- Severe pelvic or testicular pain, particularly with fever
- High fever, severe abdominal pain, or feeling very unwell
- Pregnancy combined with STI symptoms
- A spreading rash, severe sores, or rapidly worsening symptoms
Treatment and Discreet Partner Notification
If a result is positive, your doctor discusses it with you and prescribes or arranges evidence-based treatment. Curable bacterial infections such as chlamydia and gonorrhea are treated with antibiotics, while results needing specialist care are referred appropriately. Prescriptions can be sent to any Edmundston-area pharmacy such as Shoppers Drug Mart, Jean Coutu, or a Pharmaprix location. Your doctor also helps you notify recent partners so they can be tested and treated, and can connect you with New Brunswick public health resources for confidential partner notification.
