Quick answer: You can get a private STD test near you in Albuquerque, NM today – go to any of the 4 locations listed below. No appointment, no exam, no insurance. Results in 1–2 business days in your private account.
Albuquerque has four of our testing locations, one for each side of the city: Journal Center off I-25 in the north, Juan Tabo Boulevard in the Northeast Heights, Golf Course Road on the Westside, and Transport Street near the Sunport in the Southeast. Across the river there is one more in Rio Rancho, and one south in Los Lunas.
Getting tested here is not a clinic visit. You order first, online or by phone, your lab order reaches the test center in 2–3 minutes, and you go in when it suits you. The lab does not sell tests, take payment or ask why you are there; you sign in at the kiosk with your name and date of birth, give a small blood or urine sample, and you are back in the car in about five minutes.
If you’re worried, you’re already halfway to feeling better.
Most people put off getting tested because they’re scared of the answer, embarrassed to ask, or don’t know where to go without it turning into a whole ordeal. In Albuquerque, it doesn’t have to be. You pick a location below, go in when it suits you, and have a clear answer in a day or two – privately.

STDs in Albuquerque: what the numbers say
Bernalillo County reports more than 6,000 new chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis cases a year, and New Mexico ranks in the top five states for syphilis and the top ten for STDs overall. Most of these infections cause no symptoms at all, which is the case for a routine test when you feel fine, not just when something seems wrong.
The people hit hardest are the ones least likely to have a doctor to call. The New Mexico Department of Health's public health offices test and treat for low or no cost, and they are a real option if cost is the only barrier, but they mean clinic hours, a wait, and a visit that goes on a medical record.
That is who we built this for. No insurance, no referral, no exam, one flat price, four places to go across Albuquerque and one more in Rio Rancho, and a result in your private account in 1–2 business days. If something comes back positive, our care team calls you and, for most infections, treatment is a short prescription.

Questions people in Albuquerque ask us
Is there free STD testing in Albuquerque?
Yes. The New Mexico Department of Health's Albuquerque public health offices test and treat for free or a low fee, and Casa de Salud and the Transgender Resource Center offer free HIV and STI testing. If cost is the only thing stopping you, use them. The trade-offs are clinic hours, a wait, a visit that goes on a medical record, and results that can take longer. We are a paid service, and what you pay for is speed and privacy: order today, go to any of our labs without an appointment, no exam, nothing billed to insurance, and a result in your own account in 1–2 business days.
Can I get an STD test at CVS or Walgreens in Albuquerque?
CVS MinuteClinic locations in Albuquerque do offer STD testing, but it is a clinic visit: you book, see a provider, the visit is billed to insurance or paid out of pocket at clinic prices, and it goes on your medical record. Walgreens sells at-home collection kits you mail in. With us there is no exam and no appointment; the doctor's order is included, you give the sample at a lab in about five minutes, and the charge on your card shows as RSC Health.
How much does an STD test cost in Albuquerque?
One flat price that includes the doctor’s order, the lab visit and your results – no facility fees, no separate lab bill and nothing billed to insurance. Call (866) 872-1888 and a care advisor will quote it in about a minute, or see the Tests & Pricing page if you prefer to order online.
Which Albuquerque lab is closest to UNM, Downtown or Kirtland?
Transport Street near the Sunport is about ten minutes from UNM, Nob Hill, Downtown and the Kirtland Gibson gate. From the Northeast Heights or the Eubank gate, Juan Tabo is closer; from the Westside or Rio Rancho, Golf Course Road.
Can I get tested on a Saturday in Albuquerque?
The Albuquerque locations are open weekdays only. Order online or call first so your lab order is waiting, and you can go in any weekday without an appointment.
Do I have to live in Bernalillo County to use these labs?
No. Anyone can use any location, and people come in from Sandoval, Valencia, Santa Fe and Torrance counties every day. If Rio Rancho or Los Lunas is closer to home or work, each has its own page with addresses and hours.
Will my Albuquerque employer, school or parents find out?
No. We never bill insurance, so nothing appears on a family plan or a student health plan statement, and we never mail anything. Your results are posted only to your password-protected account, the lab staff see a lab order rather than a reason, and the charge on your card reads RSC Health.
Where can I get tested for STDs near me in Albuquerque?
At any of the 4 locations on this page. Order online or call first so your lab order is waiting when you arrive – the lab itself does not sell tests or take payment.
What if I’m too embarrassed to go in?
You don’t have to explain anything at the lab. They see a lab order, take a small sample, and you leave. Nobody there knows what you’re being tested for, and nobody calls you by your reason for being there.
How soon after exposure can I test?
It depends on the infection – some show up in days, others take a few weeks. Call us and we’ll tell you the right timing for your situation so you don’t get a false “all clear.”
What if it’s positive?
Most STDs are cured with a short course of medication, and the rest are managed with treatment that lets you live normally. Our care team calls you, explains the result in plain language, and helps you get treated fast.
Do I need an appointment or a doctor?
No. The doctor’s order is included when you order, and every location takes you without an appointment once you’ve ordered.
