Whitehorse patients can arrange confidential STI and STD testing through a private video consultation with a licensed doctor. The doctor reviews your symptoms, recent exposures, and risk factors, then issues a lab requisition for tests such as chlamydia and gonorrhea (urine or swab), syphilis and HIV (blood), and hepatitis or herpes testing where indicated. You attend the local hospital laboratory or a designated collection site to provide samples. Results are reviewed with you and, if anything is positive, treatment is prescribed or arranged. Your intake helps the clinician understand your symptoms, history, and goals before the visit.

How Online STI/STD Testing Works in Whitehorse
This is a confidential clinical service designed for convenience and privacy. A licensed doctor speaks with you by video about your symptoms, recent partners, and any known exposures, then decides which tests are right for you. You receive a laboratory requisition and attend the local hospital laboratory or a designated collection site in Whitehorse to provide urine, swab, or blood samples. Consider booking if any of these apply to you:
- Burning when you urinate or unusual genital discharge
- Sores, bumps, blisters, or a rash in the genital area
- A partner has told you they tested positive for an STI
- Unprotected sex or a broken condom with a new partner
- You want a routine, confidential sexual health check
Which Tests Your Whitehorse Physician May Arrange
The doctor tailors the tests to your history and symptoms during the visit. Chlamydia and gonorrhea are commonly checked with a urine NAAT or a swab, while syphilis and HIV require a blood draw. Hepatitis and herpes testing can be added when your exposure or symptoms suggest it. Samples are processed by the local Yukon hospital laboratory, and your results are returned to the doctor for review.
Window Periods: Why Timing Your Test Matters
If you test too soon after a possible exposure, an infection may not yet be detectable, which can produce a false negative. This delay is called the window period, and your doctor will advise when to test and whether to repeat the test later. Key points the doctor will discuss:
- HIV can take several weeks after exposure to reliably show on standard tests
- Syphilis may take a few weeks before blood tests turn positive
- Chlamydia and gonorrhea are usually detectable within about two weeks
- A negative result soon after exposure may need to be repeated to be reliable
- Tell your doctor the date of your most recent risk so timing can be planned
When to Seek In-Person or Emergency Care in Whitehorse
Online testing works well for many situations, but some need urgent, in-person care. If a possible high-risk HIV exposure happened within the last 72 hours, post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is time-sensitive and may help, so go to the emergency department immediately. In Whitehorse, the Whitehorse General Hospital emergency department can assess urgent concerns.
- Possible high-risk HIV exposure within 72 hours (PEP may be needed urgently)
- Severe pelvic or testicular pain, especially with fever
- Pregnancy with possible STI symptoms
- High fever, a spreading rash, or feeling very unwell
- Heavy genital bleeding or a rapidly worsening sore
