The only way you can know for sure if you have a sexually transmitted infection (STI) is to get tested. Some STIs do not have symptoms so you could pass them on to your partner if you don't know you're infected.
Clinics are staffed by public health nurses, nurse practitioners and a clinic physician. They provide assessment, treatment, education and referral services for sexually transmitted diseases. Region of Waterloo Public Health clinics are LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) positive and persons working in the sex trade are welcome.
