First Choice Community Healthcare in Edgewood requires an appointment and covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, HIV, hepatitis C, and TB testing on a sliding-scale fee open to anyone, with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs, and clinical staff who deliver that care in Spanish.

Spanish Care Delivered by Clinical Staff

Without Spanish-language clinical staff, a patient navigating STI results or treatment decisions faces gaps that delay care and compound risk. At First Choice Community Healthcare, Spanish is carried by the people providing care: meaning test results, treatment plans, and follow-up happen in full, without a second appointment to fill the language gap.

Hep C Diagnosis and Treatment in One Clinic

Many clinics will confirm a hepatitis C infection and stop there, leaving patients to locate a specialist willing to take the case. First Choice Community Healthcare in Edgewood treats hepatitis C on-site, from diagnosis through the antiviral regimen, so the path from a positive antibody test doesn't end at detection.

Substance-Use Treatment Shares the Same Building as STI Care

When substance-use treatment lives somewhere else entirely, the second appointment often never happens, and an STI that intersects with active substance use goes unmanaged on both fronts. First Choice Community Healthcare keeps that treatment in-house alongside STI care, closing the gap between two conditions that frequently arrive together.

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 Torrance County tests for syphilis.

About Moriarty, NM

Central Avenue East cuts through a Moriarty where most households own their homes and most families are larger than the national average, circumstances that shape health decisions in quiet but real ways. When a roof and a mortgage aren't the stress point, the pressure lands elsewhere: nearly eleven in a hundred working-age residents aren't employed, and fewer than one in twenty households clears six figures. That financial reality, combined with rents that remain genuinely modest by New Mexico standards, creates a community where a co-pay or an afternoon off work can still tip the scale on whether a health appointment gets scheduled at all. Younger adults in their late teens and twenties make up a meaningful share of Moriarty's population, and for this group, routine STI screening is most valuable when it asks the least of them.

The options listed on this page serve residents in and around Moriarty, and knowing the nearest one's location and hours before you need them removes the biggest logistical hurdle. Torrance County's STI figures aren't background noise for a town this size, they're a direct reflection of what's happening in households here. For someone living on Central Avenue East, staying current with screening is simply what keeps those county numbers from becoming a personal one.

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.
