It really depends on what clinic you go to as they can all be a bit different.

At our STI clinics in Vancouver we generally ask a few questions so that we have an idea of what tests we should offer. It is then up to the person to decide what tests they are comfortable getting.

People on average spend about 30 minutes with us and it takes about 1 week to get your results back.

Have a look at our “what to expect” page for more information on what happens at the clinic.
