Thompson patients who want confidential STI and STD testing can book a virtual visit with TelePlus Care. A licensed doctor reviews your symptoms, recent exposures, and risk factors, then issues a laboratory requisition for testing through Shared Health and Dynacare collection sites. Common tests arranged include chlamydia and gonorrhea, syphilis and HIV, and hepatitis or herpes testing where clinically indicated. Results are reviewed and, if positive, treatment is prescribed or arranged. A licensed doctor reviews your intake before the visit and explains the safest next step.
- Private video visit with a licensed doctor, no waiting room required
- Lab requisition issued for testing at Shared Health and Dynacare collection sites near Thompson
- Tests arranged include chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis or herpes where indicated
- Your intake helps the clinician understand your symptoms, history, and goals before the visit.
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 for Thompson Patients
Sexually transmitted infections often cause no symptoms at all, which is why testing matters even when you feel well. A licensed doctor speaks with you by video about your symptoms, recent partners, and any known exposures, then issues a laboratory requisition tailored to your situation. Consider arranging testing if any of the following apply:
- You had unprotected sex or a condom broke
- A current or former partner told you they tested positive
- You have a new partner or multiple partners
- You notice discharge, sores, burning during urination, or pelvic discomfort
- It has simply been a while since your last screen
Which Tests the Physician Can Arrange
The requisition is based on your history and what you may have been exposed to. Chlamydia and gonorrhea are usually checked with a urine sample (NAAT) or a swab, while syphilis and HIV are checked with a blood draw. Hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and herpes testing may be added when clinically indicated. We do not publish a fixed panel details or claim specific results. Your doctor explains what is being tested and why, and reviews every result with you once the lab reports back.
Why Timing and Window Periods Matter
Testing too early after a possible exposure can produce a falsely reassuring result. Each infection has its own window period, the time it takes to become detectable in the lab. Chlamydia and gonorrhea can often be detected within roughly one to two weeks, while HIV and syphilis can take several weeks to become reliably detectable. Your doctor will advise on the best timing and whether a repeat test is needed to confirm a clear result.
When to Seek In-Person or Emergency Care in Thompson
Online testing suits routine screening and mild symptoms. Some situations need urgent in-person care instead. If you may have had a high-risk HIV exposure within the last 72 hours, go to the Thompson General Hospital emergency department right away, as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is time-sensitive and must be started quickly.
- Possible high-risk HIV exposure within the last 72 hours (PEP is urgent)
- Severe pelvic or testicular pain, especially with fever
- High fever, feeling very unwell, or spreading rash
- Pregnancy with any STI symptoms or known exposure
- Heavy bleeding or a rapidly worsening genital sore
