Welcome to the STI Med Program!

Timely treatment of patients and their sexual partners with first-line regimens will help to decrease the risk of complications and prevent further transmission and re-infections.

STI medication orders are filled at the Sexual Health Clinic and free courier services will deliver your order to your clinic.
