Hi

In the Vancouver area we have two clinics that do not require health insurance. At these two clinics you are able to use a made up name and date of birth.

Vancouver – Provincial STI Clinic – BC Centre for Disease Control

Vancouver – Bute Street Clinic

Have a look at our “Know your chances” web page, it provides information on your chances of getting or passing an STI depending on how you are having sex. It will give you an idea of what tests to request. Normally the health professional will ask you a few questions about your sexual history so they know what tests to offer.

Also have a look at our “STIs at a glance” chart, it provides information on what symptoms to look for and how long you need to wait before getting tested (window period).

Please leave a comment to let us know if this answers your question or if you need more information.
