Hi, I am a UK citizen on holiday in Vancouver. I am wondering if I can still have an STI test free of charge and if so, do I need to bring anything along with me to the clinic? Thank you

Yes, we have two clinics in the Vancouver area that provide free STI/HIV testing regardless of your status in Canada. No ID or insurance is required, just bring yourself.

The provincial STI clinic at 655W 12th Ave in Vancouver, It’s best to make an appointment for this clinic by calling 604-707-5600.

The Bute street clinic is a walk in only clinic situated in QMUNITY (BC’s Queer Resource Centre) at 1170 Bute Street.

Just click on the hyperlinks on the clinic names for a map to the clinic, as well as other clinic details such as opening times and services offered.
