If you want 'confidential' STI tests, just go to
teletest.ca.
For confidentiality, please consider;
- HOWEVER, your doctor can get them if they actually make an effort to look for them. This might be true of Drop In sites if the Drop In sites ask for your OHIP number. If they ask for your OHIP card, it's NOT all that anonymous.
- If you go to Lifelabs and have an account where you see results, they will automatically show up there. Change your user name and phone the Lifelabs' help line to ensure test results show up on that new user name as well. Only one 'account' allowed as the database is keyed on your OHIP number. However, if you have a SO that knows your Lifelabs account information, this could be problematic. Use a different lab but then check for results on the teletest site.
- For STIs, you want 3 tests, urine, blood and herpes (HSV1 - who cares - and HSV2) is a separate test. Tests are only low $30s so no big deal right?
- Blood tests (suspect Herpes as well) can't usually be seen on the Lifelabs site as these go to Public Health usually but you can see them on the Teletest site if the Teletest Doctor attaches them to your urine results.
- If you test positive, you can get Doxycycline or whatever treatment is required from Teletest as well.
- It appears to be run by a legit doctor (you can look up his ID #) out of London, ON.
- Teletest has a whole shit load of menu options for tests for the paranoid or the hypochondriac
- Test monthly, the $ and time cost is low.
