Public Health offers non-judgmental and confidential services in our sexual health program. Our sites are LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer/questioning) positive and sex trade workers are welcome.

All services are free and most do not require a health card.

Clinical Services

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Public Health Sexual Health Clinic hours have been reduced and are by appointment only. There are no drop-in clinics.

Please call 519-883-2314, press option #4 and leave a message, or email Sexual Health Services, if any of the following apply:

• You have sexual health-related questions and need information
• You have an existing birth control prescription with the Sexual Health Clinic which requires renewal or refilling
• You think you need to book an appointment related to an urgent sexual health issue

A Public Health Nurse will contact you. Appointment eligibility will be determined by our public health nurses.

Family doctors, nurse practitioners or University/College Student Health Services can also provide sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBI) testing, pap tests and birth control.  Please consider using one of these services if you are able to. 

If you have a sexual health related emergency, please visit a local emergency department or walk-in clinic.
