Canada: good to know

  • What visitors pay. Ottawa Public Health says you do not need OHIP (Ontario health insurance) to visit its Sexual Health Clinic, but visits are by phone-booked appointment only, testing is limited to listed priority groups (including 2SLGBTQ+ people and people aged 29 and under), and it asks for an Ontario health card or photo ID with an Ontario address to register; call first if you have neither.
  • PEP in this country. Ottawa Public Health's Sexual Health Clinic (179 Clarence Street, 613-234-4641) lists HIV PEP and PrEP for those who qualify. It has no drop-in service: you must phone for an appointment during its booking hours.
  • PEP in this country. HIV Testing Ontario advises going to a hospital emergency room for PEP when a testing site cannot provide it, and says there are costs for PEP for people without insurance (it is free for sexual assault survivors). PEP must start within 72 hours.

Emergency number: 911
