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

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!).

Lavender Teatime is a twice monthly peer support group hosted through Calgary Outlink that serves as a supportive social space for those whose identities are informed and understood in relation to experiences of queer womanhood, including trans, non binary, and cis folks as they feel comfortable in this space. It will be held on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month.
We understand and recognize that there can be a lot of nuance to how each of us identifies and that we do not all use the same language even when we might share similar experiences. We recognize also that our unique identities can shape the ways we experience and are experienced by the world and that our experiences might not align even when we share identities. We celebrate these differences and strive to create space where all our beautiful diversity can shine! There are endless ways to identify and even more ways of being in community. If you feel that you align with this group, you are welcome here!
This meetup is intended as a space for casual connection. This is not a structured therapy group nor is it a dating space. If you are looking for further support, Outlink staff are available to meet with you one-on-one or in small groups by phone, text based messaging, or video call upon request. They can also help connect you to other counselling and support services.
Please note that this meeting is moderated by Outlink staff/volunteers who reserve the right to remove anyone from the group who is in violation of our Safer Space Ground Rules.
Advance registration is required for all our Zoom meetings. Register here.
