What to expect during your appointment:

When you check in our staff will ask you to:

  • Wear a mask if you don’t have one
  • Complete registration forms on our iPad if you did not complete them already
  • Leave a urine (pee) sample in a cup in the bathroom.

A nurse will take you to a private room and ask you:

  • What brings you to our clinic today and if you are having any symptoms.
  • If you have any allergies to medicines and the names of the medicines/supplements you are taking.
  • Your sexual health history including the gender(s) of your sex partner(s).

  • If you would like information on birth control methods. If you are able to become pregnant, the nurse will offer you birth control methods available at our clinic, and emergency birth control.

After you talk with the nurse:

  • They will offer you tests for sexually transmitted infections (STI’s). Testing may include collecting throat, anal (butt), and/or vaginal samples with a swab. The nurse will give you privacy to collect your own swabs.
    • If you are having symptoms and would like an exam, the nurse will ask for your permission to collect swabs during the exam to test for STI’s.
  • The nurse will offer to take a blood sample from your arm to test for HIV and syphilis. The nurse can also take a sample of blood from your finger to test for HIV.

If you are having symptoms or have been exposed to an infection the nurse may offer you medicine at your visit.
