Due to the ongoing outbreak of syphilis in the Labrador-Grenfell Zone, Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services is reminding the public of the importance of regular testing for sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections.
On Saturday, February 15, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. there will be a walk-in testing clinic for STBBIs, including syphilis, hepatitis B and C, HIV, gonorrhea and chlamydia, at the Labrador Health Centre Outpatient Department in Happy Valley-Goose Bay.
