Confidential Online STI/STD Testing in New Westminster
New Westminster residents can arrange discreet STI and STD testing from home. A licensed doctor reviews your symptoms, exposure history, and risk factors by video, then issues a laboratory requisition. You attend a collection site near Sapperton, Uptown, or the Quay to provide your samples, and results are reviewed in confidence.

New Westminster patients can book a confidential video visit with a licensed doctor to arrange STI and STD testing.

Who Should Consider STI Testing in New Westminster
Many sexually transmitted infections produce no symptoms, so the decision to test is based on risk rather than on how you feel. New Westminster residents may want to arrange testing in any of these situations:
- A new sexual partner or more than one partner
- A partner who has tested positive for an STI
- Symptoms such as unusual discharge, burning during urination, sores, or pelvic pain
- A condom that broke or unprotected sex you are unsure about
- Routine sexual-health screening even without symptoms
How Online STI Testing Works for New Westminster Patients
TelePlus Care connects you with a licensed doctor by secure video. The doctor reviews your exposure history and symptoms and decides which tests are appropriate. Common tests arranged include chlamydia and gonorrhea (urine NAAT or swab), syphilis and HIV (blood), and hepatitis or herpes testing where clinically indicated. You then attend a LifeLabs collection site near you to provide urine or blood samples. Once results return, they are reviewed and, if anything is positive, treatment is prescribed or arranged.
Collection Sites and Pharmacies Across New Westminster
After your video visit, your requisition can be used at LifeLabs collection sites in and around New Westminster, including locations near Royal Columbian Hospital in Sapperton, Uptown, and Columbia Street near the Quay. If treatment is needed, prescriptions can be sent to the pharmacy of your choice. Nationwide pharmacy chains across New Westminster include Shoppers Drug Mart, London Drugs, Save-On-Foods Pharmacy, Walmart Pharmacy, and independent neighbourhood pharmacies.
Understanding Window Periods
Timing matters with STI testing. After an exposure, some infections take days to weeks to become detectable, a gap known as the window period. HIV and syphilis, for example, may not show on a test until weeks after exposure, so testing too early can give a falsely reassuring result. Your doctor will advise when to test and whether a repeat test is needed later to confirm a negative result.
When to Seek In-Person or Emergency Care
Online testing is appropriate for routine and low-acuity situations. Certain red flags need in-person or urgent care instead of a virtual visit. In New Westminster, the nearest hospital emergency department is Royal Columbian Hospital. Seek in-person care if you have:
- A possible recent high-risk HIV exposure within the last 72 hours, which may need urgent post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) right away at an emergency department
- Severe pelvic or testicular pain, especially with fever
- High fever, severe abdominal pain, or feeling very unwell
- Pregnancy with any STI symptoms or exposure
- Painful sores or symptoms that are worsening quickly
Confidentiality and Your Results
Your visit and your results remain private. Consultations are conducted on PIPEDA-compliant infrastructure, and results are shared with you directly. If a test is positive, the doctor will explain what it means and prescribe or arrange appropriate treatment, and may discuss notifying partners.

- Step 2: A licensed doctor reviews your case
