Reply To: Do I have to give my real name at the clinic?

It varies enormously by country and by service, so the only real answer is to ring and ask.

What is fairly consistent: sexual health services are used to this question and are generally bound by strict confidentiality rules, often stricter than general medical records. Some services operate genuinely anonymously, some take a name but keep the record separate from your main file.
