Technically, if the doctor did say something, it would be a huge breach of patient-doctor confidentiality, but I can also tell you that I have many, many times heard a doctor do just that. After the comments are made, they cannot be undone, so to be sure of whether he will or will not, you could CALL the doctor's office beforehand and make sure your wish for confidentiality is upheld. You can even have them write a note at the top of your chart stating that this is a concern you have. Sometimes, just having a Mom or other person much older than you in the room implies you have already shared information with them. Also, it seems pregnancy-related topics are seen as a family social event and more openly discussed... and the line regarding your body and privacy gets quite blurred. Also, If you tested positive than your boyfriend did too, right? Make sure you aren't going to be passing it back and forth to each other by one of you not getting treated. Chlamydia is extremely common and it is a disease, not a moral failure. That said, it is not something to be ashamed of but it certainly is private information.
