Hi John –
The clinics do treat international visitors as well as residents. Use the above links to find a low-cost or free clinic near you in both Canada and the UK. You can call them in advance to inquire about payment and/or if they accept low-income patients. A lot of clinics treat patients on a sliding income scale. The people within those links will also be able to advise which clinic will be best considering your previous testing circumstances.
