STI Testing for gbMSM
Rapid HIV & STI Testing
Update: We are excited to resume our STBBI testing and treatment services for gbMSM, in partnership with the Calgary STI Clinic, starting April 24, 2024.
Our services will remain largely unchanged, but there are a few important things to note for those wishing to get tested.
Our clinic will no longer be able to test clients anonymously. When booking, and when attending your appointment, you will be asked to provide your Alberta Health Care card and/or ID. If you do not have Alberta Health Care, or have out of province health care, current ID will be required for testing. When you book an appointment, please provide your accurate information to streamline your testing experience. If you have any questions about this change, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
We will still offer all of the following services, specifically for gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (gbMSM), including cis, trans, and other gender diverse folks:
- Testing for common sexually transmitted and blood borne infections (STBBIs), including chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis A, B, & C, and HIV
- Rapid or “point of care” testing for HIV and syphilis, providing results in about one minute, so you can know your status before you leave your appointment!
- Treatment for common STBBIs including chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis
- Vaccinations for Hepatitis A & B (all ages) and HPV (for folks 26 and under)
- Free condoms and lube
- Information and referrals for other services such as HIV PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis)
Book an Appointment
Our clinic will still operate on an appointment-only basis, with all appointments booked through our portal below.
Appointments will become available exactly one week in advance from the appointment time. For example, the appointment for Wednesday at 4:00 pm next week, will become available to book at 4:00 pm on Wednesday of this week. If the system does not show any available appointments, it means that they are either all booked, or they are not yet available for booking. We encourage clients to routinely check this page for availability, including for last-minute appointments (we do get cancellations!).
When: Wednesday and Thursdays from 3:30 to 7:30 pm.
Where: Centre for Sexuality: 700 – 1509 Centre Street South
