Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Clinic

The Calgary STI clinics offer confidential, comprehensive STI walk-in services and booked appointments (East Calgary Health Centre only) for sexually transmitted and blood borne infections (STBBIs).

As the demand for service is high, patients may experience longer wait times at the clinic. The clinic also prioritizes patients most in need and some patients are not always seen in the order they present to the clinic. Please note that if you have an urgent STI-related issue please go to the Sheldon M Chumir Health Centre location. As the East Calgary Health Centre location has very limited capacity.
