Rated 4.2 out of 5 from 19 reviews

Amador Health Center in Las Cruces is a community health center where STI care (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, rapid and conventional HIV, and hepatitis A, B, and C testing) runs on a sliding-scale fee with walk-ins welcome and same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, delivered in Spanish and additional languages.

Read full overview

Spanish Spoken, Accuracy Carried Through

Amador Health Center conducts appointments in Spanish and through interpretation services for other languages, which means clinical details (dosing instructions, exposure histories, treatment timelines) are exchanged directly rather than compressed into approximations, and nothing gets lost at the moment it matters most.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed Here, No Outside Referral

Amador Health Center holds standing capacity to prescribe both PrEP and PEP on-site, which answers directly for someone paying cash with no primary care provider. Coverage for uninsured patients on PrEP is built into the fee structure, so ongoing prevention isn't contingent on finding a separate prescriber.

Hepatitis C Treatment Completed Here, Start to Finish

Amador Health Center provides hepatitis C treatment directly, meaning a positive antibody result moves into active care at the same clinic rather than sitting at the diagnostic stage. Hepatitis B treatment is also on-site, so chronic viral hepatitis management doesn't require a separate specialist relationship.

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 Doña Ana 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.
