HEAL NS has an on-going partnership with the STI Care Now Initiative. This initiative offers a free, convenient, and confidential option for sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and HIV and linkage to care in Nova Scotia. With this initiative, you can:
- Order a Free At-Home Testing Kit: Complete a secure online form to request a kit delivered right to your home, or address of choice. Tests can also be picked up at the HEAL NS office, just remember to bring your health card with you!
- Speak to their team of pharmacists and social workers for a PrEP assessment, or for support around prevention, testing, or treatment.
- Test Privately and Easily: Follow simple instructions to collect your specimen.
- Get Results and Support: Receive your results and, if needed, access virtual assessment, prescriptions, or in-person care.
This service is designed to reduce barriers to STI testing and care, helping you take control of your sexual health with ease and privacy.
