STI/HIV Self-initiated (SIT) testing Lab Requisition Location

STI/HIV Self-Initiated testing (SIT)  is a free and easy way to get tested for STIs (chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis) and HIV without seeing a health care provider.

STI/HIV SIT lab requisitions are available at any Public Health Unit.

STI/HIV SIT testing is not recommended if any of the following applies to you:

• Have symptoms of an STI.
• Had recent sex with someone with a confirmed or suspected STI.
• Have other needs such as STI treatment or medication.
• Want to speak with a nurse or doctor.
• Do not have a BC Services Card (care card).
• Do not want to use your real name.

If you need to see a healthcare provider, find an STI clinic near you: smartsex clinic finder

Once you have the STI/HIV SIT lab requisition, make an appointment or drop-in at a Life Labs location near you or book an appointment at a Fraser Health laboratory.

• Bring your BC Services Card and the Laboratory Requisition form.
• Do not go pee for two hours before your visit.

At the lab they will draw blood to test you for HIV and syphilis and ask you for a urine sample to test for chlamydia and gonorrhea.

Get your test results after seven to 10 business days online at HealthGateway.gov.bc.ca or My Care Compass or two weeks after your lab visit call 604-777-6705.
