How to get tested anonymously

Post by Wandering-snapdragon »

So I have long term partner and kids . Basically no sex is happening with her and staying together now for kids. We have the same family doctor. Last time i used teletest.ca to get tested . But my GP was able to pull the results since my health card is linked I guess.

So my question is there any way to get tested anonymously without my doctor knowing. Googled a bit , hassle free clinic came up but its ij downtown and I want something closer to east end whitby/oshawa .

Please let me know if there is a way .

I know it's a bit out of the way, but Hassle-Free Clinic is good. I think you can even just walk in on certain days (there are different days for men/trans and women), and if you've never been there, you'll find yourself in a small waiting room with guys from all walks of life. Just a heads up. The doctors there are pretty chill/professional too - they've seen it all, I bet :)

Maybe others can recommend some anonymous ways of getting tested?

The staff and doctors at the Hassle Free are great. I cannot imagine that they haven’t seen or heard of the craziest stuff imaginable. Get there as early as you can though as sometimes the wait times are lengthy.

I use teletext now, Dr knows but is supposed to keep confidential.
There used to be a sexual health clinic in the Oshawa Center, haven't been in close to 15 years so not sure if it's still there.

Getting into a relationship and want to make sure I’m clean. I’ve used the Toronto Hassle free clinic many years ago but now looking to use the Markham or Richmond hill clinics since I’m much closer to those now.

The clinic downtown was truly ‘ hassle-free’ can anyone chime in on whether these suburban clinics operate the same way? Are they as anonymous?

Also with any of the clinics, what happens if medication is needed,Thankfully I’ve never needed it, but what happens if it is required, is that done through our health card?
