HIPAA only affects drs and nurses. Only drs and nurses are bound by HIPAA and arent allowed to pass out patients information... Edit: it only applies to people who actually HAVE your private medical info. It does not have anything to do with you telling another person about your own medical history. It's simply to stop someone from calling into your drs office and asking them about some other persons history... Pretending like HIPAA stops a company from asking YOU to divulge your own information is nonsense.
