Read full overview

No Fee Applies to Every Service Here

When cost goes unresolved, gonorrhea goes untreated, a syphilis result gets ignored, and a hepatitis C diagnosis sits without follow-up. At New Mexico Department of Health in Lordsburg, every service (testing, treatment, vaccines, counseling) carries no fee, so the bill never becomes the reason care stops.

Full Spanish-Language Care, No Gaps in the Clinic

New Mexico Department of Health in Lordsburg delivers services directly in Spanish, not routed through a secondary channel, but as a standing clinical capability. For someone without a regular provider who needs to discuss symptoms, understand a diagnosis, or navigate treatment, the conversation happens in full from the first question to the last instruction.

Hepatitis B and C Testing Alongside the Core STI Panel

For anyone without a primary care doctor who hasn't been screened for hepatitis B or C, New Mexico Department of Health in Lordsburg closes that gap in the same visit as gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV testing. No separate appointment at a separate facility required.

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.

Pregnant or planning to be? 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 Hidalgo County tests for syphilis.

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.
