Our trusti™ nurses compiled a list of resources for those who need further care or just have more questions about STIs. Consider this your sexual health cheat sheet.
trusti™ currently only offers HIV testing, as it's the only rapid STI test approved for self-use in Canada (slow clap for regulatory speed). Visit a clinic to get screened for other common STIs like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis.
If you've tested positive with one of our kits, you'll need in-person confirmatory lab testing.
A list of Ontario's sexual health clinics can be found here.

The HIV Legal Network shares resources for groups that are vulnerable to and living with HIV in Canada.
CATIE shares information and resources about HIV and Hepatitis C in Canada. Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to your health.
