Rated 2.7 out of 5 from 49 reviews

Hidalgo Medical Services in Silver City tests for hepatitis C alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections; fees apply and insurance is accepted. Appointments are required, and care is delivered in Spanish.

Read full overview

Spanish-Speaking Clinical Staff Handle Your Care

Spanish-language care at Hidalgo Medical Services runs through credentialed clinical staff, not a relay through a separate service, meaning prescriptions are written, treatment plans are explained, and follow-up instructions are given directly in Spanish by the providers managing your case.

Hepatitis C Treatment Prescribed and Managed Here

Hidalgo Medical Services carries hepatitis C treatment in-house, which means direct-acting antivirals, the current standard of cure, can be prescribed and monitored at the same site that ran the test, keeping the full treatment arc within one clinical relationship.

Hepatitis C Testing Included in the Standard Panel

The testing panel at Hidalgo Medical Services includes hepatitis C alongside the core bacterial and viral infections, meaning a single appointment surfaces a chronic bloodborne condition that often goes undetected until liver damage has already progressed.

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 Grant 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.
