New Mexico Department of Health in Anthony runs appointments for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and rapid or conventional HIV testing, treating bacterial infections the same visit. All on a sliding-scale fee that bottoms out at zero for every service offered.
The clinic's funding model covers the full cost of every service (testing, STI treatment, TB screening and treatment, vaccines for HPV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and mpox) so no service generates a bill at any income level. That structure is operational, not conditional: it applies to every appointment, every time.
Spanish-speaking staff deliver care, counseling, and partner notification directly. No relay through a secondary channel. Exposure histories, treatment instructions, and harm-reduction education are conducted in Spanish as the primary clinical language of the encounter.
The clinic integrates substance-use treatment, including a needle exchange program, alongside STI care within the same visit structure. That pairing means someone already managing an STI is screened and supported for substance-use concerns without a separate referral pathway or a separate appointment.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Doña Ana County, the county that includes Berino, compare with New Mexico and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~37% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#3 of 33 New Mexico counties for chlamydia, among the very highest in the state
| Infection | Doña Ana County | New Mexico | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 611 1,376 cases ▲ 17% | 523.6 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 121.2 273 cases ▼ 28% | 169 | 179.5 |

Reading these numbers: reported case rates only count infections that were actually tested for and diagnosed, so they track local screening effort as much as true spread: a higher rate can reflect more testing, a lower one less. Either way, most STIs cause no symptoms, so treat the figures above as context rather than a verdict, and test on the CDC's schedule regardless of how your area looks.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Doña Ana County, chlamydia has fallen from 687.3 to 611 per 100,000 (11%), gonorrhea has fallen from 203.1 to 121.2 per 100,000 (40%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 10 to 30.6 per 100,000 (206%).

Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in Doña Ana County.
Local HIV snapshot
Doña Ana County HIV care continuum (2023)
Doña Ana County recorded 11.6 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 10.4 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Doña Ana County residents living with HIV, 58.6% are in care · 52.1% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.
Sources: AIDSVu (Emory/Gilead) · CDC AHEAD · CDC AtlasPlus · CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county care continuum). The CDC recommends everyone aged 13–64 test for HIV at least once: every lab and clinic listed above offers HIV testing, and free rapid HIV testing is available at a local health department.
Congenital syphilis, passed from parent to baby in pregnancy, is the fastest-rising STI in the country. U.S. cases climbed from 2,163 in 2020 to 3,882 in 2023. It is almost entirely preventable: the CDC recommends a syphilis test at the first prenatal visit, and every clinic and lab listed for Doña Ana County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Berino's quiet stretch along the Rio Grande valley means families tend to stay put, building lives across decades in homes they own outright. That stability, the kind where neighbors know your car and your kids grow up together, makes it easy to let health routines slip, especially ones that feel private or awkward to arrange. Routine STI screening isn't something most people talk about over coffee at Liz Adams Park, but it's exactly the kind of care that fits into ordinary life when you know where to turn and what to expect. Young adults in Berino, from late teens through their thirties, face the same screening needs as peers anywhere, yet the landscape here can feel different: multigenerational households share space, work schedules stretch across shifts, and getting away for an appointment takes real planning.
Testing sites and clinics in and around Berino listed on this page offer confidential screening without the fanfare or wait that can discourage someone from showing up at all. Results stay private; the process itself is straightforward. Access to care matters most when it doesn't demand a production. Whether you live near I 10 or along Camino Real Street, whether you're thinking about a new relationship or checking in on your health as part of routine life, testing here is available without judgment and without your business becoming anyone else's.
Getting there
At 5.12/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Berino generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

Two things that actually depend on New Mexico law: who can consent, and whether partners can be treated without their own visit. Everything else about testing privately is the same nationwide (see below).
In New Mexico, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
New Mexico permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication (or a prescription) to pass to your partner, no separate exam or appointment needed for them.
Keeping a test private works the same in every state. Whether an STD test shows on insurance (the EOB), how to test anonymously, and self-pay options that leave no insurance trail don’t change by location.
