Clinics and testing sites near Artesia
No free or low-cost clinic is addressed in Artesia itself, so the nearest are listed below, closest first. Public clinics generally take longer to return results than a private lab, and several test on set days only, so it is worth calling ahead. If you would rather not wait or give your details at a public clinic, an at-home collection kit posts back to a lab and needs no local appointment at all.

Testing privacy
Anonymous vs. confidential testing
Most clinics test confidentially. Some also offer anonymous testing, usually for HIV. Availability varies by testing site, so ask when you call.
Confidential
- You give your name, and the result goes in your medical record.
- Results are not available to the public.
- Chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis and HIV are reportable in every state, so a positive result is reported to the health department. Those reports are kept confidential.
Anonymous
- You don’t give your name.
- You receive a number and use it, not your name, to get your result.
- Not every site offers it. Ask before your visit.

There were 0 new HIV diagnoses in Eddy County in 2014. HIV is the one infection where how soon you test changes which test you need — an RNA test detects it far earlier than a standard antibody test.
Eddy County reported 268 chlamydia cases in 2023, a rate of 444.6 per 100,000 residents. Most people who have chlamydia or gonorrhea have no symptoms at all, so waiting for something to feel wrong is not a strategy.

PrEP, DoxyPEP & Online Treatment
