Confidential Online STI/STD Testing in Lethbridge

Yes, when you have an active Alberta Health Card. Without one, the visit is $80. Your samples are then collected using the requisition the doctor gives you.

You talk with the doctor by phone or video from wherever you choose, and your results are confidential. Public health reporting of certain infections still applies, but partners who are contacted aren't told your name.

Take your requisition to whichever community lab collection site is most convenient for you, whether that's near home or in Lethbridge.

It depends on the infection and when the contact happened. Testing too early can miss an infection, so the doctor advises when to test and whether to repeat it later. A possible HIV exposure is different: go to the emergency department within 72 hours to ask about PEP.

Once the lab has your samples, the doctor follows up on the results. If you need treatment, you'll get a prescription or clear next steps, along with advice on retesting and letting partners know.

For severe pain in the pelvis, belly or testicles, fever with genital symptoms, injuries or symptoms after a sexual assault, or a possible HIV exposure in the last 72 hours. In an emergency, call 911.

No. Anyone physically in Alberta can book. Students at the University of Lethbridge and Lethbridge Polytechnic often find a phone visit easier to fit between classes, but the service is open to everyone.

It depends. In some situations the doctor may recommend treatment before results come back; in others, it makes more sense to wait. Either way, the doctor explains the reasoning.

No referral is needed. If you're looking for a regular doctor in the area, Chinook Primary Care Network and Alberta Find a Provider are good places to start.

Yes. Online doctor visits are free with an active Alberta Health Card. Without an active card, the visit is $80, and the fee is shown before you book. Some services, such as doctor's notes, have their own fee.

Choose from the current TelePlus Care appointment times shown in the booking form — no roster, referral, or wait-list is required. Same-day options may be available, but availability changes with clinician capacity and demand; the earliest selectable time is at least two hours after booking. You connect with a Canadian licensed doctor by phone or secure video from home, and when appropriate a prescription is sent to your preferred Lethbridge pharmacy.

Because care is virtual, TelePlus Care serves patients across Alberta, including Lethbridge, Lloydminster, Medicine Hat, Okotoks, and Peace River, and other communities — anywhere in the province with a phone or internet connection.
