Book Your Appointment Now
Patients across Newfoundland and Labrador can book a confidential video visit with a licensed doctor who reviews symptoms, exposure history, and risk factors, then issues a laboratory requisition. You provide samples at an NL Health Services collection site, results are reviewed, and treatment is arranged if needed. A licensed doctor reviews your intake before the visit and explains the safest next step.
- Confidential video visit with a licensed doctor
- Lab requisition for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, and other tests where indicated
- Samples collected at an NL Health Services laboratory site across the province
- Your intake helps the clinician understand your symptoms, history, and goals before the visit.
Clinical content is reviewed for accuracy and scope. TelePlus Care appointments go ahead only when a doctor agrees it is the right call, after a real assessment, and the doctor will explain the next step if virtual care is not the right fit.
How Online STI/STD Testing Works Across Newfoundland and Labrador
Online STI testing is a clinical service, not a home kit. A licensed doctor speaks with you by video about your symptoms, recent exposures, and risk factors, then decides which tests are appropriate and issues a laboratory requisition. This is especially helpful for residents of smaller communities and rural areas where travelling to a clinic can take time. You bring the requisition to a collection site to provide samples. Consider booking if any of these apply:
- Unprotected sex or a new partner since your last screening
- A partner has told you they tested positive for an infection
- Discharge, sores, itching, or pain that could signal an infection
- Routine peace-of-mind screening before a new relationship
- Symptoms appearing after a recent possible exposure
Which Tests a Physician Can Arrange
The doctor selects tests based on your history and symptoms. Commonly arranged tests include chlamydia and gonorrhea (urine NAAT or swab), syphilis and HIV (blood), and hepatitis or herpes testing where clinically indicated. There is no single fixed panel. Your doctor explains which tests they are ordering and why, so you understand exactly what is being checked.
Window Periods and Timing Your Test
Timing matters. Some infections take days to weeks after exposure before a test can detect them. HIV and syphilis, for example, may not show up immediately, so testing too early can produce a falsely reassuring result. Your doctor advises when to test and whether repeat testing after a window period is recommended. Be specific about when any possible exposure happened during your visit.
When to Seek In-Person or Emergency Care
Online testing suits routine and many symptomatic situations, but some circumstances need in-person care at your nearest hospital emergency department, such as the Health Sciences Centre in St. John's or your regional hospital.
- Possible recent high-risk HIV exposure within the last 72 hours, which may need post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) urgently in person
- Severe symptoms such as high fever, severe pelvic or testicular pain, or pain with fever
- Pregnancy with any STI symptoms or a known exposure
- Heavy bleeding, painful open sores, or rapidly worsening symptoms
- feeling very unwell or unable to keep fluids down

Privacy and Treatment After Results
Your visit and results are handled confidentially on PIPEDA-compliant infrastructure. If a test is positive, your doctor reviews it with you, prescribes treatment where appropriate, and can send a prescription to a pharmacy near you such as Shoppers Drug Mart, Lawtons, or a grocery-store pharmacy. The doctor can also discuss partner notification and any recommended repeat or follow-up testing.
