Spanish Is a Clinical Language Here

Spanish functions as a full clinical language at Chiricahua Community Health Centers, not a supplementary one. Counseling, medication adherence education, and STI prevention conversations all run directly in Spanish: meaning clinical nuance, dosing instructions, and risk-reduction guidance land in the language that shapes how a patient actually processes them.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Managed On-Site

Chiricahua carries both PrEP and PEP as standing clinical services, no separate specialist, no outside prescription needed. For anyone without a regular provider or paying out of pocket, having a single clinic that tests, counsels, and prescribes HIV prevention medication on a sliding-scale fee closes what is otherwise a significant logistical gap.

Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through This Clinic

Chiricahua tests for hepatitis C and carries treatment through to completion on-site. Current direct-acting antiviral regimens achieve cure rates above 95 percent, but only when treatment is actually accessible. Having diagnosis and antiviral management in the same facility means the gap between a reactive antibody result and a completed treatment course doesn't widen into months of logistics.

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

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 Cochise County tests for syphilis.

Confidentiality & consent in Arizona

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

Two things that actually depend on Arizona 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 Arizona, 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)

Arizona 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.
