At HIM, we recognize that gay men face unique sexual health issues - that's why we launched two HIM Sexual Health Centres, located at 421 - 1033 Davie Street and 101 - 1416 Commercial Drive in Vancouver.
All services can be accessed by walk-in or by appointment (call us at (604) 488-1001 ext. 223 for both locations during regular office hours, or extension 227 during clinic hours for Davie Street, or (778) 708-3568 during clinic hours for HIM on the Drive).
The HIM Sexual Health Centre on Davie Street is open:
| Monday to Thursday | 4:00 pm - 9:00 pm | ||
| Friday | 11:00 am - 4:00 pm | ||
| Saturday | 10:00 am - 3:00 pm |
The HIM Sexual Health Centre on the Drive is open:
| Monday and Tuesday | 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm |
The HIM Sexual Health Centre offers a range of services for gay men: STI testing, Rapid HIV testing, Early HIV testing, Peer Support, Professional Counselling, Personal Strategic Advising and sexual health education.
There are many clinics that offer various testing services in and around Vancouver. Not all clinics will offer the Rapid HIV test or the Early HIV test, so you might want to call ahead and ask which services they offer.

If you have a family doctor, STI/HIV testing can also be done through their office. If you have a good relationship with your doctor and if you are comfortable talking to him/her openly about your sex life, you might want to consider this option.
