Seedthissub Posted September 24 Report Posted September 24 here’s my question. I understand hippa and all. My question is, if i get prep through a clinic nearby will my PcP find out. She is my family doctor and i know she wont say anything but i dont want it on my med list if i go to the hospital for some reason. i do not want my emergency contact to find out. Any advice? Quote
408curious Posted October 2 Report Posted October 2 From what I have annectodaly heard, Rxs are shared across medical systems. It's my understanding this is done so if you go to ER they can see anything that might have a bad reaction with what they want to give you. 1 Quote

badjujuboy Posted 55 minutes ago Report Posted 55 minutes ago (edited) Your medical information can’t be shared with someone unless you specifically sign off on it. That includes your emergency contact. They would be notified in an emergency but should not be told of the reason. There is the caveat that, if you are incapacitated and not able to consent to treatment, they may need to discuss your condition with them to treat you/save your life.
