Most of the women/trans clinic’s programs and services Mondays and Wednesdays are by appointment only. Please call the clinic during the open clinic hours to set up an appointment.

However, you do not need an appointment for any of the following:

• STI drop-in on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m, Fridays from 10 a.m. to 12 noon. You can be tested or treated for STIs at this time.
  
  Our drop-in operated on a first-come, first-served basis. At this time you can have an STI check, a Pap test, or be treated for genital warts. You cannot have an HIV test at this time without an appointment.
  
  When we are very busy, the drop-in clinic may close earlier than 7 p.m. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
• The emergency contraceptive pill (ECP) or “morning-after pill” is available anytime the women/trans clinic is open. You do not need to call first to make an appointment, but we prefer it when you do.
• Needle exchange.
