Hi

Both a family doctor and an STI clinic are reliable places to go for testing.  A family doctor is able to order the same tests that you would get at an STI clinic.

The important thing would be to choose a place where you are comfortable talking about your sexual history. This helps your health care provider decide what tests are best for you.

You might want to print out and take along our STI checklist when you go for testing. You can review it with your health care provider to decide what tests you need.
