Tell your doctor: You should tell the truth to your doctor. If you feel that you are being judged, find another doctor. A physician's office should be a safe place for you to be able to tell the truth. Your story is private, confidential & protected by law. For me, confidentiality for patients is paramount and necessary for effective partnership for patients to make informed decisions about their care.

You decide: This would usually come up as a question that helps the doc decide when/if other screening exams/tests would be proper to best manage your health risks.Some common STD'd have no symptoms but could have major consequences if untreated.You don't have to race in to change the answer, but it would be prudent at your next visit.
