Sexual Health Testing
If your test is positive, we provide treatment or link you to who can.
* indicates you can choose to get results in 30 minutes.
- Chlamydia
- Gonorrhea
- Syphilis*
- HIV*
- Trichomoniasis (Trich), yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis
- Hepatitis B and C (based on risk)
- Genital warts
- Herpes swab testing if you have symptoms like a genital or rectal sore
If you've been to our clinic in the past 12 months and just need routine STI testing, book an express visit! It's a 30-minute checkup if you don't have symptoms or a known STI exposure. There's no rapid testing available for this visit type!
DoxyPEP (Doxycycline as STI Post-Exposure Prophylaxis)
We are now able to prescribe DoxyPEP!
- What it is: DoxyPEP means taking the antibiotic doxycycline within 72 hours of sex to reduce your chances of getting chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. Doxycycline has been used for decades to treat infections and conditions like acne, but using it for STI prevention is a new and effective way to protect yourself.
- Who it’s for: CDC recommends it for certain adult gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men, as well as transgender women. There are studies going on right now among cisgender women and adolescents, but we don’t yet have the data.
- How to get it: Call us or make an appointment to see if DoxyPEP is right for you.
- Learn more: Read our fact sheet which includes all the details.
