La Casa Family Health Center, a family practice in Clovis, folds STI care into the same appointment-based rhythm as any other health visit: gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, herpes, and HIV testing, same-visit bacterial treatment, and sliding-scale fees, with services available in Spanish.
La Casa Family Health Center delivers STI care in Spanish, not as an accommodation but as part of how the practice runs. That means clinical conversations, follow-up, and treatment planning happen without switching registers or losing nuance.
La Casa tests for herpes in addition to gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, and HIV, which means a single appointment can surface infections that a narrower screen would leave unaddressed. Useful when symptoms are ambiguous or exposure history is broad.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Curry County, the county that includes Texico, compare with New Mexico and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~23% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#7 of 33 New Mexico counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 79% of the state
| Infection | Curry County | New Mexico | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 554.8 262 cases ▲ 6% | 523.6 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 112.2 53 cases ▼ 34% | 169 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 40.2 19 cases ▲ 10% | 36.6 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 19.1 9 cases ▲ 6% | 18.1 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 82.6 39 cases ▲ 8% | 76.6 | 29.5 |

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.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Curry County, chlamydia has fallen from 964.3 to 554.8 per 100,000 (42%), gonorrhea has fallen from 346.9 to 112.2 per 100,000 (68%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 2.1 to 40.2 per 100,000 (1814%).

Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in Curry County.
Local HIV snapshot
Curry County HIV care continuum (2023)
Among Curry County residents living with HIV, 69% are in care · 45.2% 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 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.
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 Curry County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Wheeler Avenue stretches quiet between Farwell, Texas and the Curry County interior, and for most Texico residents, a clinic visit means committing to that highway: there's no walking to a lab, no subway stop, just a deliberate drive out and back. With the testing options listed here, the range of locations and hours matters more than it would somewhere denser. Nearly three-quarters of households own their homes, and more than half of adults are married. A profile that can make sexual-health screening feel like it belongs to some other demographic. It doesn't.
Younger adults still forming relationships and exploring their twenties live in this community too, and they face the same Curry County STI landscape as anyone, with less institutional support pointing them toward routine care. The roughly one-in-four households that rent here are paying just over a thousand dollars a month, and with fewer than half the working-age population currently in the labor force, discretionary time and out-of-pocket costs both deserve honest thought when choosing where and when to get tested. The good news is that nearly half the households here earn enough that a clinic fee rarely becomes the deciding obstacle, for many, the real calculation is scheduling around a drive on Wheeler Avenue, not around a co-pay. Knowing which clinics along that corridor offer same-week walk-in slots is the detail worth checking first.
Getting there
At 4.48/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Texico generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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).
In New Mexico, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
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.
