You have a choice: But it is important for your doctor to know your entire history. Speaking for myself, i would not judge you for your past except to reemphasize that you did good by getting past it.

Unwise: Your doc should be professional enough to not judge your past indiscretions. If not- get another. I believe it is important for your health to not hold back any past issues-- while many new issues may be unrelated, there are, for example, particular infections which are more common in patients who have used IV drugs, and so it may be important for your health to fully disclose.
