Honesty: It is in YOUR best interest to be completely honest and forthcoming with your physician, so that he/she can do what's best for your health. Since you are sexually active, you should be screened for STD's at least yearly and with each change in sexual partner. This is in YOUR best interest. Your interaction with your physician is COMPLETELY confidential. No one else will know what you discuss.
