Every Visit Costs Nothing, No Exceptions

When cost stands between a person and treatment, infections go unaddressed and spread. At Sunrise Clinics, every service (testing, vaccines, STI treatment) runs on a donations-accepted model with no fee attached to any of it, so nothing at the billing stage interrupts care.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Beyond the Standard Four

Plenty of walk-in STI clinics cap their panel at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV: leaving herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C off the table entirely. Sunrise Clinics tests for all of them, so a single visit produces a genuinely complete picture rather than a partial one.

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.

About Puerto de Luna, NM

Puerto De Luna's residential fabric is strikingly settled: every household here owns its home, and the vast majority of adults are married, living in a close-knit arrangement that shapes how health decisions get made. That kind of stability carries real strengths, but it can also mean that personal health appointments, including STI screening, get framed as something for "other places" or younger crowds. When in fact regular testing is straightforward preventive care regardless of relationship status or how long you've lived somewhere. With only a small fraction of residents actively in the workforce, the rhythm of daily life in Puerto De Luna runs differently than in a commuter town.

There's no shift schedule forcing a narrow window, but there's also less built-in infrastructure. No pharmacy clinic on the corner, no walk-in urgent care on the main stretch past the Guadalupe Courthouse Historic Site. Young adults still navigating relationships and forming long-term partnerships are the group most likely to benefit from low-barrier access to testing, and for them especially, a planned drive beats an indefinite delay. Before that trip, pull up the one option listed here, confirm its hours, and go from the Grzelachowski House Historic Site area with a specific appointment already set.

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.
