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.

Spanish Is the Clinical Language Here
Spanish isn't routed through a secondary channel at La Fe, it's the working language of the clinical encounter itself. That means nuance in symptom history, treatment instructions, and follow-up planning lands without loss, which directly shapes how accurately a course of care gets set.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed On-Site, Not Elsewhere
Many STI clinics test and treat but hand off HIV prevention prescribing to an outside provider. La Fe carries both PrEP and PEP in-house, so initiating or continuing HIV prevention medication happens within the same clinical relationship, without switching practices.
Herpes and Hepatitis Expand the Testing Scope
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, La Fe tests for herpes simplex, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Each requiring distinct laboratory methods and clinical interpretation. Hepatitis B vaccination is also available on-site, closing the gap between a positive screen and prevention for partners.
New Mexico Department of Health in Anthony runs appointments for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and rapid or conventional HIV testing, treating bacterial infections the same visit. All on a sliding-scale fee that bottoms out at zero for every service offered.

Every Service Runs on Zero-Cost Staffing
The clinic's funding model covers the full cost of every service (testing, STI treatment, TB screening and treatment, vaccines for HPV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and mpox) so no service generates a bill at any income level. That structure is operational, not conditional: it applies to every appointment, every time.
Spanish Is the Working Language Here
Spanish-speaking staff deliver care, counseling, and partner notification directly. No relay through a secondary channel. Exposure histories, treatment instructions, and harm-reduction education are conducted in Spanish as the primary clinical language of the encounter.
Substance-Use Treatment Shares the Same Appointment
The clinic integrates substance-use treatment, including a needle exchange program, alongside STI care within the same visit structure. That pairing means someone already managing an STI is screened and supported for substance-use concerns without a separate referral pathway or a separate appointment.

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.

Among El Paso County residents living with HIV, 70.6% are in care · 63.7% are virally suppressed.

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 El Paso County tests for syphilis.

Camino Real de Tierra Adentro runs through a community where home values sit well below state norms and nearly seven in ten households own their place outright, a stability that coexists with tight household budgets and large family units averaging more than four people per home. With only a small share of households earning above six figures, discretionary spending on healthcare, including routine screening, competes with everything else a family of that size needs covered each month. That economic texture shapes how people here think about preventive care. Young adults in their late teens and twenties, a group that sees elevated STI rates nationally, often share those crowded households with parents, siblings, or partners, which can make private health decisions feel logistically complicated.
For them, options that are low-cost and easy to reach matter more than a brochure might suggest. Worth noting: the options listed on this page serve the broader El Paso County area rather than sitting inside Westway itself, so checking hours and distance before heading out is practical groundwork. Especially for the more than half of working-age adults who are in the labor force and keeping a full schedule around Canutillo and the surrounding corridor.

Confidentiality & consent in TexasMinor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
Two things that actually depend on Texas 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 Texas, 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)
Texas 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.
