Helpful Resources

Help and Treatment

We understand that stigma still surrounds STI testing, and it can make the process feel isolating and overwhelming. Because we want your experience to feel supported, we focus on providing affordable testing along with easy access to reliable resources. With these tools available, you can find the guidance and assistance you need at every step.

Testing of this kind may be stressful and seeking out help on what to do next may feel like a mammoth of a task, which is why we have provided you with helpful contacts and websites, where you should be able to speak to someone who can guide you on your next steps.

If you have a family doctor you can speak to, we strongly recommend reaching out, because they can guide you through follow-up testing and, if necessary, help you take the next steps in treatment. Additionally, staying in contact with a trusted healthcare professional can make the entire process clearer and more reassuring.
