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.

STI testing that begins with a phone call

You don't need to explain yourself at a reception desk to get tested. Book a TelePlus Care STI visit, and a Canadian licensed doctor calls or video-chats with you at the time you chose. People book for all sorts of reasons: a new partner, a condom that slipped, symptoms that won't go away, or a partner who has just shared a diagnosis. Some have no symptoms and simply want peace of mind. Whatever brought you here, the doctor is there to help, not to judge. No referral is needed.

How the doctor decides what to test

Not everyone needs the same tests. The doctor asks about symptoms, when and how the possible exposure happened, past infections and whether pregnancy is possible. From there, they may order urine tests, swabs, blood tests or a combination. Timing is part of the plan too. Some infections don't show up right away, so the doctor may suggest when to test or ask you to repeat a test later. If your symptoms need to be looked at in person, you'll be told that plainly.

Using your requisition at Okotoks Health and Wellness Centre

Once the doctor sends a requisition, you give your sample at a community lab collection site. For many people in town, the handiest one is the lab at Okotoks Health and Wellness Centre, 11 Cimarron Common. Check the lab's current hours, and whether you need an appointment, before you go. Bring your health card and the requisition. If you live in De Winton or Heritage Pointe and work in south Calgary, a collection site along your commute could be simpler.

After the lab: results, treatment and next steps

The doctor reviews your results and walks you through what they mean. What happens next depends on what's found.

  • Negative results: advice on whether retesting later makes sense
  • An infection treated with medication: a prescription sent to your pharmacy when appropriate
  • A reportable infection such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis or HIV: public health follow-up, with nurses contacting partners without sharing your name
  • Anything that needs hands-on care: clear directions to in-person care or a referral

The sexual health clinic at Okotoks Health and Wellness Centre

Okotoks has a Sexual and Reproductive Health clinic inside the Health and Wellness Centre. It serves people who are 29 or younger or who face barriers, such as having no Alberta health coverage or being unable to afford birth control, and you can self-refer. Its services include STI testing and treatment, HIV PrEP prescriptions, Pap tests and post-assault care. Hours are limited, so call 403-995-2600 ext. 6 to check. The clinic is a good fit when you need an in-person exam, while a TelePlus Care visit can be booked any day of the week.

Pain, fever, assault or a recent HIV exposure

Call 911 or go to an emergency department for severe abdominal, pelvic or testicular pain, fever with genital symptoms, or injuries. High River General Hospital's emergency department is open 24/7, and South Health Campus in southeast Calgary has one too. Urgent care at Okotoks Health and Wellness Centre runs 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, holidays included. If you may have been exposed to HIV very recently, get in-person care right away, as preventive medicine needs to start quickly. After a sexual assault, medical care comes first; Alberta's One Line for Sexual Violence, 1-866-403-8000, gives support by phone or text from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Health Link 811 is available 24/7.
