Tell Your Partners to Get Tested

It may be difficult and awkward to do, but notifying sexual partners that they may have picked up an STI is important for everyone’s sexual health. Untreated STIs may result in a number of long-term health complications, and can be passed to other members of our communities.

This tool allows you to anonymously notify your sexual partners that they ought to get tested and offers them resources on where to get tested and to learn more about STIs including HIV.

Step 1: Select the STIs your partner may have picked up or passed on

Step 2: Partner’s information

Please enter your partner's name, email address AND/OR phone numbers below in the required fields. Phone recipients will receive a text-based version of your message.

Email Address: (multiple names and email addresses can be added)

[ + ] Add another entry

Phone Number: (multiple names and phone numbers can be added)

[ + ] Add another entry

Step 3: Your information

Your email address is required but the recipient will not see it.
We want to ensure that this form remains anonymous, but understand that some users may want to disclose their identity. So, if you wish to inform your sexual partner(s) that you’ve sent this message, we ask you to please reach out to them personally on an alternate platform after submitting this form.

Step 4: Review and Send

Please carefull review your entries to ensure all the information is correct.

IMPORTANT! Once you press send you will be sent an email which requires you to validate your email address to complete the anonymous submission.
