Quick Answer
Yukon 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 your 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.

- Lab requisition issued for testing at your local hospital laboratory in Yukon

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 Yukon
This is a confidential clinical service built for a territory where distances are large and clinic access can be limited. A licensed doctor speaks with you by video about your symptoms, recent partners, and any known exposures, then decides which tests are appropriate. You receive a laboratory requisition and attend your local hospital laboratory or a designated collection site 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 Yukon Physician May Arrange
The doctor tailors the tests to your history and symptoms during the consultation rather than applying a fixed list. 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
Testing too soon after a possible exposure can give a false negative, because some infections take time before they become detectable. This waiting time is 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 Yukon
Online testing suits 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 nearest emergency department immediately. Whitehorse General Hospital, Watson Lake Community Hospital, and Dawson City Community Hospital provide emergency services in the territory.
- 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
How Your TelePlus Care Visit Works
Booking takes only a couple of minutes from anywhere in Yukon with an internet connection, which removes the need to travel long distances just to start the process.
- Step 1: Complete the secure, confidential intake form about your symptoms and history
- Step 2: A licensed doctor reviews your case
- Step 3: Connect by video to discuss risk factors and the right tests
- Step 4: Receive a lab requisition for your local hospital laboratory or collection site
- Step 5: Your results are reviewed and, if positive, treatment is prescribed or arranged
Your Privacy and Treatment After Testing
In small northern communities, privacy is especially important, and your consultation, requisition, and results are handled confidentially on PIPEDA-compliant infrastructure. If a result is positive, the doctor discusses next steps with you, prescribes treatment where appropriate, and provides guidance on partner notification and any follow-up testing. If medication is prescribed, you can fill it at a pharmacy in your community, including chain pharmacies such as Shoppers Drug Mart in Whitehorse or a local independent pharmacy.
