HIV & sexual health
Prevention, testing and treatment, in one place
Staying negative, finding out, and living well are usually four buildings and four intake forms. At 231 Dundas St E they will be one appointment and one pharmacy.
Where to start
If something happened in the last 72 hours, start with PEP and start now — that page is short on purpose, because the clock is the only thing that matters.
Everything else on this page can wait until you have read it properly.

What being in one place actually changes
Not comfort — continuity. When prevention, testing and treatment sit in different services, the gaps between them are where things get lost: a result that arrives somewhere nobody reads, a prescription that lapses between a clinic visit and a pharmacy trip, a vaccination nobody realised was indicated.
The same clinicians handling your gender-affirming care, your vaccinations and your ordinary family medicine means those are not four separate conversations you have to hold together yourself.
No referral. Nothing you have to explain twice. The pharmacy is on the ground floor of the same building, and you are still free to fill anywhere you like.
On confidentiality
Testing here will be confidential, which means your result is part of your medical record and is protected like the rest of it. It is not anonymous testing — that is a specific, legally defined service that only sites designated under Ontario’s public health legislation may offer, and we will not be one of them.
The distinction matters and is worth knowing before you choose where to go rather than after. We will not be able to offer anonymous testing, and if that is what you want we will tell you where it actually is.
What the building looks like from outside
A family practice with a pharmacy under it. Nothing on the signage, the label or the delivery bag says anything about why you came, because the same door serves someone here for a sore throat. See your first visit.
Common questions
Do I need a family doctor here to get PrEP?
No. It will be available as its own appointment. If you would also like a family doctor, see looking for a family doctor.
What will it cost?
The appointment is an insured visit. The medication is a separate question that depends on your drug coverage rather than on OHIP, and the PrEP page goes through the routes people actually use.
I’m already on treatment elsewhere.
Transferring is ordinary. See living with HIV for what moving care involves.
Kind Pharmacy on the ground floor handles the dispensing side — coverage paperwork, refills that arrive before you run out, and supplies. Kind Clinic and Kind Pharmacy are separate businesses under common ownership. You can fill your prescription anywhere.
