Appointments will be available 48 hours in advance, they are separated by symptomatic and asymptomatic (no symptoms). Phone lines will remain open on clinic days between 1 and 3 p.m., if you need to speak with a nurse or require assistance in booking. 

We offer in-person physician assessment and treatment of STIs for those with symptoms or questions. However, if you only want screening and have no concerns that require you to see a physician, please select “no symptoms option.” We have a dedicated phlebotomist on our team, who will draw blood for STBBI during your appointment.
