STI Testing & HIV Prevention Online
Confidential, judgment-free STI testing, PrEP, and PEP — with a licensed healthcare professional, online.
Whether you need routine testing, are thinking about ongoing HIV prevention (PrEP), or had a specific exposure that just happened (PEP), this is a confidential, judgment-free space to get the right next step. Timing matters most for PEP — it works best started right away and is generally not offered beyond 72 hours after an exposure.

Quick Self-Check
Answer a few quick questions. This isn't a diagnosis — a real clinical assessment is the next step either way.
How We Work
A Care365 clinician first checks for anything needing urgent, in-person care — severe pelvic pain with fever, symptoms suggesting acute HIV infection, or already being HIV-positive are each routed to the right level of care rather than routine testing. For a recent specific exposure, PEP is started as soon as possible (within 72 hours) alongside baseline testing; for ongoing risk, PrEP is offered once a confirmed negative HIV test and kidney/hepatitis B status are in. Your contact method and any partner notification always follow your own stated preference.

What Our healthcare professionals Can Assess
Routine Testing
For a sexually active patient with no specific symptoms or exposure — HIV, syphilis, and chlamydia/gonorrhea testing as appropriate for your situation.
PEP (After a Recent Exposure)
Started as soon as possible after a specific exposure — most effective within 72 hours, with baseline HIV, hepatitis, and renal testing done alongside.
PrEP (Ongoing Prevention)
For ongoing HIV-exposure risk — started once a negative HIV test and baseline kidney/hepatitis B status are confirmed.
Symptomatic Testing
Discharge, burning with urination, or genital sores get targeted testing, with empiric treatment considered when a partner has a recent diagnosis.
Common Symptoms
- Unusual discharge
- Burning or pain when urinating
- Genital sores, bumps, or warts
- No symptoms at all — routine testing is still valuable
Treatment Options
These options may be prescribed by a Care365 clinician after a real assessment — this is general information, not a recommendation to use any specific medication without one.

| Doxycycline (empiric STI treatment) 100mg | Tetracycline | Oral | BID for 7 days — when clinically indicated |

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this confidential?
Yes — this is a confidential, judgment-free service. Your contact method and any partner notification approach always follow your own stated preference.
I had a specific exposure recently — what should I do?
PEP is most effective started as soon as possible and is generally not offered beyond 72 hours after the exposure — the sooner you start an assessment, the better your options.
What's the difference between PrEP and PEP?
PrEP is ongoing prevention taken before any exposure happens, for continued protection. PEP is a short course started after a specific, recent exposure, within a limited time window.
Do I need a HIV test before starting PrEP?
Yes — PrEP is only started after a confirmed negative HIV test, along with a baseline check of your kidney function and hepatitis B status.
I don't have any symptoms — is testing still worth it?
Yes — many STIs don't cause noticeable symptoms. Routine screening (HIV, syphilis, chlamydia/gonorrhea as appropriate) is valuable for sexually active people regardless of symptoms.
