Thanks to the Nova Scotia Health, anyone who is 15 years or older may qualify to have testing within their own home and any treatment that is needed. That means no more waiting to have an appointment. Here’s the link for more information https://www.nshealth.ca/clinics-programs-and-services/sti-and-std-clinic. Testing before and after partner changes and /or if you have any concerns such as a change in your discharge or pelvic pain. You can ask your partner for their negative test results before you make them your new partner and your new partner can ask you for yours. The best way to not spread an STI is to to use condoms and dental dams.
