YOUR LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT SHOULD DO TESTING , POSSIBLY FREE AND LEGALLY THEY CANNOT SHARE YOUR INFORMATION EVEN IF YOUR PARENTS CALLED ASKING.

You have the internet so you could search for "STD clinics in _________" (The city that you live in) This should most likely generate an answer. You could also look in the yellow pages to look for pregnancy centers, STD clinics, etc.
A word of advice....if you feel that your mature enough to have sexual intercourse then maybe think about using the pill AND a condom to reduce the chances of you getting pregnant and also getting STD's in the future.

At family planning clinics, such as the aforementioned, Planned Parenthood, services for all patients, including minors are completely confidential. If any one tries to ask whether someone has ever been to the clinic staff can not and do not verify if someone has ever been a patient at the clinic--doing so would be illegal. If you are concerned about STD infection I would strongly encourage you to contact your local family planning or STD clinic. If you'd like to ask general questions about STD you can call the National STD hotline: http://www.doe.state.in.us/sservices/hivaids_cdchotline.html

Go to your local STD clinic. It's listed in the phone book, and if you can't find it. Call a local health department, and ask them where you can find the number. Everything is confidential, and very cheap. They provide all of your meds needed for free. Next time use protection!!!!!!!!!! OR no sex at all!!!

well regardless of the situation your parents wont know, unless u tell the doctors that you want them to know. Is doctor/ patient confidentiality. Doctors are not allowed to disclosed any health records or information to anyone, not even your parents.

Just type in your zip or state in the search on top of this site and it will give you a clinic in your area and the services it provides. You don't have to use insurance they test free mostly.

If you use your parents insurance, they will know you went to the dr but not what for. I dont believe the dr is obligated to tell them. I hope there is a huge lesson in this to you: ALWAYS USE PROTECTION.

Go to a Planned Parenthood center--they should be able to help you, confidentially.

Go to Planned Parenthood. By law they can't tell anyone anything about you or if you were even there.
