It's one of those questions that might or might not apply;nothing to do with Obamacare.<br /><br />Betsy McCaughey.a right wing anti-Obamacare activist was the first to spread the rumor about the new requirement. One carddiolist said that it might not be a requirement but he thinks it's necessary to ask his patients about their sex life;perhaps not on every visit but the question is part of the medical record.<br /><br />Ms McCaughey is trying to mix and match federal requirements to suit her needs. There are federal EHR(Electronic Health Records) and the HITECH Act but not Obamacare to require STI records and counseling.

Frequency, number of partners, etc. Have you heard this? I could not find anything to confirm, nor deny it. All I know is that those questions have been asked by our GYNs forever.
