How to read these listings
Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

ASL and Spanish Spoken by Clinical Staff
Deaf patients and Spanish speakers work directly with staff: no relay service standing between a provider and a conversation about symptoms, treatment options, or PrEP. For anyone whose primary language isn't English, or who communicates in ASL, that direct access shapes every part of the clinical encounter, from the intake questions to the prescription.
Title X Covers Legally Confidential Care for Minors
As a Title X clinic, Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains provides legally confidential family planning and STI services to minors: meaning a young person without a regular provider, or one who can't involve a parent, has a clear path to testing, treatment, and contraception without that visit appearing on a family insurance account.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Managed On-Site
The clinic carries both PrEP and PEP, with a dedicated cost pathway for uninsured patients pursuing PrEP. Covering the drug itself, not just the prescription. Ongoing PrEP requires HIV monitoring every three months, and that lab work stays within the same clinic rather than being coordinated elsewhere.

First Nations Community HealthSource in Farmington provides free HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis C testing alongside STI treatment and PrEP: no fee for any service, no appointment required, with harm reduction and prevention education available at the same visit.
Read full overviewShow less
Free Applies to Every Service, Every Time
When a fee stands between a diagnosis and treatment, the gap often widens into something harder to close. A delayed prescription, an untreated infection, a condition that compounds. At First Nations Community HealthSource, every service carries no charge: testing, treatment, PrEP, PEP, hepatitis C care, counseling. None of it accrues a bill.
First Nations Community HealthSource prescribes both PrEP, the daily oral medication that blocks HIV acquisition, and PEP, the post-exposure course, directly through its own clinical staff. Having both options in one place means the appropriate medication is matched to the specific situation without routing through separate providers.
Hepatitis C Cure Doesn't Require a Specialist Referral
A hepatitis C diagnosis that goes unlinked to treatment can quietly advance to liver damage over years, a gap that often opens when testing and treatment live at different addresses. First Nations Community HealthSource treats hepatitis C on-site, so a positive antibody result doesn't stall at detection while a patient waits for a separate specialist appointment.

Presbyterian Medical Services in Farmington screens for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV on a sliding-scale fee that reaches zero. Every service, no charge at the floor. Walk-ins are welcome, same-visit bacterial treatment is available, and HPV, hepatitis A, and hepatitis B vaccines are on-site.

Every Service Runs at Zero Cost
For anyone paying cash without a regular provider to absorb the bill, Presbyterian Medical Services carries no-fee care as a standing policy. Not a waiver you negotiate at the desk. Testing, treatment, and vaccines all fall under the same ceiling: none.
Spanish-Language Care Without a Workaround
Many clinics handle Spanish through an intermediary: a line, a screen, something between you and the clinician. Presbyterian Medical Services in Farmington delivers care directly in Spanish, so the conversation about symptoms, history, and treatment happens in the same room, in the same language, without a layer in between.
Substance-Use Treatment Stays in the Same Building
When those two needs are handled at separate addresses, one of them tends to wait, and the one that waits often goes unresolved. Presbyterian Medical Services folds substance-use treatment into the same clinical setting as STI care, so neither condition gets deferred while you navigate a second appointment somewhere else.

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.

San Juan County recorded 11.9 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 10.4 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among San Juan County residents living with HIV, 79.2% are in care · 69.4% 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.
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 San Juan County tests for syphilis.

La Plata's economy runs on oil and gas work, farming, and the trades. Jobs that keep people moving, sometimes between shifts, sometimes between towns. Seasons shift the rhythm too: spring brings field work, winter can isolate stretches of NM 170. That kind of life means health decisions often get squeezed into whatever time opens up.
Confidential STI screening in and around La Plata is listed on this page, available through clinics and providers who understand that appointments need to fit around work schedules and don't require lengthy explanations to coworkers or family. Young adults in their late teens through thirties make up a real part of La Plata's population, and routine screening at that age catches infections early. Often before symptoms appear. Testing here stays between you and the provider; results don't travel through gossip networks or show up on shared insurance paperwork unless you choose to file a claim.
The clinics listed serve people who value directness and discretion in equal measure. Whether you're between jobs, settled in, or just passing through on work, getting screened shouldn't require a story or a detour. Providers in the area keep it straightforward: walk in, get tested, move on with your day. That's the standard here.

Confidentiality & consent in New MexicoMinor 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.
