Is my visit confidential?
In Washington state, birth control and pregnancy testing are confidential. This means that you don't need written permission from your parent or guardian to get services like birth control or pregnancy tests. It also means we will not tell anyone about your visit unless you ask us to.
For STI testing and treatment, teens who are 14 and older may access services without getting permission from a parent or guardian. We will not tell anyone about your visit unless you ask us to.
We always encourage teens to talk with a parent or trusted adult about their care with us. However, it is ultimately the teen's decision who to involve.
If you have questions, please drop by or give us a call.
¿Es mi visita confidencial?
En el estado de Washington, todos los servicios de cuidado de salud que se ofrecen en las clínicas de salud sexual y reproductiva son confidenciales. Esto significa que usted no necesita un permiso escrito de sus padres o tutores para recibir servicios tales como métodos anticonceptivos, exámenes anuales, pruebas de enfermedades transmitidas sexualmente y pruebas de embarazo. También significa que no le brindaremos información a nadie sobre su visita a menos que usted nos pida hacerlo.
Para las pruebas y el tratamiento de las ETS, los adolescentes mayores de 14 años pueden acceder a los servicios sin obtener el permiso de un padre o tutor. No le diremos a nadie sobre su visita a menos que usted nos lo solicite.
Siempre les pedimos a los adolescentes que hablen con sus padres o con una persona adulta de confianza acerca de su cuidado con nosotros. Sin embargo, es finalmente el adolescente quien decide a que persona desea involucrar.
