are under 18 years old, you can still request and receive
confidential sexual and reproductive healthcare services,
without a parent or guardian’s consent or presence. You can request a confidential visit
at the time of your appointment. The doctor is not allowed to
disclose your visit to anyone without your permission.

Primary care includes regular check-ups, sports physicals, exams
for working papers, and immunizations, as well as care for
conditions such as asthma, advice on diet and exercise, and
medical attention when feeling ill. It’s smart to establish a
primary care physician, also known as a PCP, as you begin to take
ownership of your health care.
