Confidential Online STI/STD Testing in Red Deer

Yes, the visit is free when your Alberta Health Card is active. Without an active card, it costs $80. Refills, doctor's notes and paid programs such as erectile dysfunction care are priced separately.

Your visit and your results are confidential. The one thing Alberta requires is public health reporting of certain infections, and even then, any partner a nurse contacts isn't told who you are.

That depends on your symptoms, the type of contact and when it happened. Urine tests and swabs are common for infections like chlamydia and gonorrhea, while blood tests look for infections such as syphilis, HIV and hepatitis. The doctor explains each one before you head to the lab.

You take the requisition to a community lab collection site. Once results are ready, the doctor reviews them with you, prescribes treatment when appropriate, and talks through partner notification and whether you should retest.

Often, yes. Many STIs cause no symptoms, so a new partner, a condom that broke or a partner's positive result are all good reasons to book. The doctor will suggest when to test for a reliable answer.

Go to emergency or call 911 for severe pelvic or belly pain with fever, a painful swollen testicle, symptoms after a sexual assault, or a possible HIV exposure within the past 72 hours. Health Link 811 can help you decide if you're unsure.

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 Red Deer pharmacy.

Because care is virtual, TelePlus Care serves patients across Alberta, including Red Deer, Redcliff, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove, and St. Albert, and other communities — anywhere in the province with a phone or internet connection.
