When a health care provider diagnoses, treats or prescribes
for a minor, without the consent or knowledge of a parent or guardian as
permitted by section
2305 of the Public Health Law, neither
medical nor billing re- cords shall be released or in any manner be made
available to the parent or guardian of such minor without the minor patient's
permission. In addition to being authorized in accordance with section
2305 of the Public Health Law to diagnose,
treat or prescribe for a person under the age of eighteen years without the
consent or knowledge of the parent or guardian of such person where the
individual is infected with a sexually transmitted disease, or has been exposed
to infection with a sexually transmitted disease, health care practitioners may
(as authorized by their scope of practice) render medical care related to other
sexually transmitted diseases without the consent or knowledge of the parent or
guardian.
