Partners Notification
You received a diagnosis for an STI or HIV? Here are some options to help you notify your sexual partners.
Why should I tell my sexual partners?
Notifying your sexual partners allows them to :
Get tested before feeling symptoms
Get treated quickly and avoid complications
Avoid transmitting an STI to others
Take part in the prevention of STIs
Feel that their partners care about their health
Ask yourself what is the best way to notify each partner. Every person and every situation is unique, and there are several options available to you:
Some prefer to talk with their partners in person.
Others make phone calls, write an email or a text message to the people involved.
Others prefer to have a health care provider or a professional notify their partners
Some have other methods because they want to inform their partners in a way that suits them best

Our notification service complements but does not replace the services offered by the health professionals who accompanied you in your screening and diagnosis. If you have any doubts about your health, they are your primary ressources.
The Portail will not collect any unnecessary information and will not disclose any information that would breach the confidentiality rights of the people who use Sext’Info. See our Politique de confidentialité (in french only).
The Portal agrees to notify the partners whose mobile phone numbers have been provided via the methods specified on this page, but does not hold itself responsible for any possible personal consequences following the notification.
