No Fee Means the Whole Visit, Every Time

Navajo Department of Health absorbs the full cost of every service it provides (testing, counseling, STI treatment, and PrEP) through public health funding. No bill is generated, no portion is deferred. The staff is salaried to deliver care, not to collect payment at any stage of the visit.

PrEP Prescribed and Managed in Crownpoint

Without on-site PrEP access, a person at ongoing risk faces a separate specialist visit, a prescription gap that can stretch days or weeks, and out-of-pocket costs at each step. Navajo Department of Health prescribes and monitors PrEP directly, so the medication relationship starts and continues here rather than stalling in a referral queue.

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.

Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when

It is almost entirely preventable: the CDC recommends a syphilis test at the first prenatal visit, and every clinic and lab listed for McKinley County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Crownpoint, NM

Near Kin Ya-ah, the landscape opens wide and the nearest services can feel just as far, which makes knowing where to turn for STI screening a practical matter, not an abstract one. The economic picture shapes how testing decisions get made. Rent here runs low by most measures, but unemployment is steep, and well under two-thirds of working-age residents are actively in the labor force, so when someone does work, those hours are often essential and hard to give up. Larger households mean more people sharing schedules, rides, and responsibilities. That's the daily math that determines whether a health appointment actually happens.

The options listed on this page include facilities that offer extended or varied hours precisely because a weekday midmorning slot is out of reach for many people here. With most of McKinley County's STI burden falling on younger adults still navigating relationships and new living situations, accessible scheduling matters more than proximity alone. For a resident whose shift pattern or household obligations eat most of the week, a listed option with evening or weekend availability isn't a convenience. It's what makes the visit possible.

Confidentiality & consent in New Mexico

Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

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).

Can a minor consent on their own?

In New Mexico, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

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.
