Can a doctor reveal your sexual activity to your parents?

Dr. Caroline Cribari answered

Usually NO: Only if you are involved in something illegal or acutely at risk of harming yourself or someone else, then you are legally obligated to inform the authorities, and your parents likely would find out. Otherwise, your md is bound by doctor/patient confidentiality! this is sacred.
