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.

Free STI testing visits in Sherwood Park

Nobody enjoys booking an STI test, so the first answer should be simple: with an active Alberta Health Card, the TelePlus Care visit is free. If your card isn't active, you'll pay $80, and you'll see that amount before you confirm. The appointment is with a Canadian licensed doctor who asks about your concerns in a straightforward, non-judgmental way. You can book without a referral, from anywhere in Strathcona County or elsewhere in Alberta.

Symptoms, exposures and routine checks

Some people book because something feels off. Others have no symptoms but know a test is overdue. Both are good reasons, since an infection can be present without obvious signs. If you're pregnant or trying to get pregnant, mention it early in the call. If any of the situations below apply to you, it's worth a conversation with the doctor.

  • Unusual discharge, burning when urinating, or genital itching
  • A sore, blister or bump in the genital area
  • Sex without a condom, or a condom that failed
  • A partner who has been diagnosed with an STI
  • A new relationship and a wish to test first

Shift work in the Industrial Heartland

Strathcona County is part of Alberta's Industrial Heartland, and if you work rotating shifts or nights, a weekday clinic appointment can be hard to fit in. TelePlus Care books visits seven days a week from 8 AM to 7 PM Mountain Time, so you can take the call on a day off instead of straight after a night shift. Once you have your requisition, check the collection site's hours before heading out, since they won't always line up with your rotation. Your employer isn't part of any of this, and a doctor's note is a separate service if you need one for time away.

How testing works, step by step

The phone or video visit is where the planning happens; the tests themselves use samples collected in person. Bring your requisition and, if you have one, your Alberta Health Card to the collection site. If the doctor thinks you need an exam that can't be done on camera, you'll be told where to go. Expect the process to look like this.

  • Book a time and fill in a short, private intake
  • Talk with the doctor about symptoms, partners and the date of any exposure
  • Get a lab requisition for the tests that fit, such as urine, swab or blood tests
  • Visit a community lab collection site that suits your schedule
  • Hear back from the doctor about your results and any treatment

Why timing after an exposure matters

A test taken too soon after sex can miss an infection that's there, because each STI takes its own time to show up. That's why the doctor asks for the date of the contact you're worried about, not only whether it happened. You may be advised to test right away, to wait, or to test now and again later. Symptoms are a different matter, so book promptly if you have them. After a possible HIV exposure, head to an emergency department immediately, since preventive medication is time-sensitive.

Results, treatment and partner notification

When results are in, the doctor explains them in plain language. If treatment is needed and can be prescribed, it's sent to your pharmacy, near home or near your work. You'll also hear whether retesting is recommended and how to protect partners. MyHealth Alberta lists chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis and HIV among Alberta's reportable infections. Positive results for reportable infections go to the provincial STI services program. Its nurses may contact you about follow-up and can reach partners confidentially, without sharing your name.

  • Results explained clearly, with treatment when appropriate
  • Advice on retesting and on avoiding reinfection
  • Confidential help letting partners know
