Book Your Appointment Now
Residents across Prince Edward Island 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 a Health PEI 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 from anywhere on the Island
- Lab requisition for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, and other tests where indicated
- Samples collected through Health PEI laboratory sites 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 Prince Edward Island
Online STI testing is a clinical service, not a mail-order home kit. A licensed doctor speaks with you by secure video about your symptoms, recent exposures, and risk factors, then decides which tests are appropriate and issues a laboratory requisition. For Islanders in rural communities like Tignish, Montague, or Souris, this removes a long drive to a clinic and avoids waiting rooms. You bring the requisition to a Health PEI 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 burning that could signal an infection
- A condom failure or an exposure you are unsure about
- Routine sexual-health screening even without symptoms
Which Tests a Physician Can Arrange
The doctor chooses tests based on your history and symptoms rather than a fixed package. 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 set panel. Your doctor explains which tests they are ordering and why, so you understand exactly what is being checked before you attend the lab.
Window Periods and Timing Your Test
Timing is a key part of accurate testing. After an exposure, some infections take days to weeks to become detectable, a gap called the window period. HIV and syphilis, for example, may not appear on a test until weeks afterward, 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. Be specific during your visit about when any possible exposure happened.
When to Seek In-Person or Emergency Care
Online testing suits routine screening and mild symptoms, but some situations need urgent in-person care. If you have had a recent high-risk HIV exposure, post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) must begin within 72 hours, so go to the emergency department at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Charlottetown or the Prince County Hospital in Summerside right away rather than waiting for a virtual visit. Seek in-person or emergency care if you experience:
- Possible recent high-risk HIV exposure within the last 72 hours, which may need urgent PEP 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 a known exposure
- Painful open sores or symptoms that are getting worse quickly
How Your TelePlus Care STI Visit Works

Privacy and Treatment After Results
Your visit and results are handled confidentially on PIPEDA-compliant infrastructure, and results are shared with you directly. 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, Murphy's, Lawtons, or a grocery-store pharmacy. The doctor can also discuss partner notification and any recommended repeat or follow-up testing.
