sex?

um well, my suggestion would be, since
youre under 18, talk to your doctor about
it, and tell them you dont want them to
tell your parents. most the time theyll
respect that.

Patient privacy
unless it's endangering your health
they usually won't say anything

If you are underage, which you are, and
your parent(s) want to know if you have
had sex then yes the doctor is obligated
to tell the parent(s). However there are
doctors who would not tell the parent(s).

When your under age if the parent
asks,then yes they have to right to tell
them.
But they wont just up and tell them,and
most of the time they wont say anything!

No, patient confidentiality means that
doctors cannot just tell your parents.
If you are over 18, they are not allowed
to tell anyone anything you tell them.
Also once you are over 18, it is
considered none of your parent's business
as you are an adult.
