Good question: More a breach of trust if you request confidentiality which is not respected by your dr. Legally your dr can inform your parents about findings until ur 18-years old. Sharing such a personal ; delicate matter with your parents might be more acceptable if dr learns that ur not practicing safe sex ; doctor has concerns regarding possible of unwanted pregnancy or sexually transmitted disease.
