Due to unforeseen circumstances, Calgary Queer Arts has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2026 REMIX Youth Program. We know this may be disappointing to those who were looking forward to participating, and we sincerely appreciate the interest and support we've received. Anyone who has registered will be contacted directly with more information. Thank you for your understanding and continued support of Calgary Queer Arts.
Location: Centre for Sexuality: 700 – 1509 Centre St S Calgary, Alberta

Rapid HIV & STI Testing
Centre for Sexuality offers the following services for gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (gbMSM), including cis, trans and other gender diverse folks:
Testing for common sexually transmitted and blood borne infections (STBBIs), including chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis A, B, & C, and HIV
Rapid or “point of care” testing for HIV and syphilis, providing results in about one minute, so you can know your status before you leave your appointment!
Treatment for common STBBIs including chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis
Vaccinations for Hepatitis A & B (all ages) and HPV (for folks 26 and under)
Free condoms and lube
Information and referrals for other services such as HIV PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis)
We offer two STI testing clinics: One one is open to anybody 14 or older of any gender identity or sexual orientation. The other is only open to gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM).
Appointments will become available exactly one week in advance from the appointment time. For example, the appointment for Wednesday at 4:00 pm next week, will become available to book at 4:00 pm on Wednesday of this week. If the system does not show any available appointments, it means that they are either all booked, or they are not yet available for booking. We encourage clients to routinely check this page for availability, including for last-minute appointments (we do get cancellations!).
When: Wednesday and Thursdays from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Where: Centre for Sexuality: 700 – 1509 Centre Street South
