The doctor will not be able to know what you got it from. At all.
The only way my boyfriend and I discovered it was because I would only get the infection back right after we had sex.
So don't worry about the doctor telling you that.
Also, doctors will not ask if you are sexually active if your parents are there when you are underage.
With yeast infections and BV's, doctors rarely ask it anyways.
So don't worry about the doctor asking that either.

Regardless of what you, your mom, or your doctor think caused the infection, you doctor will still prescribe the same antibiotics.
If you stick to the antibiotic instructions and take them for the ten days or so, you should be good :)
However, like I said, there have been many cases (including when I got BV) where the guy was the one who was introducing the bacteria into the vagina. When this happened with me, my boyfriend had to go on the antibiotics as well so the infection would stop for good. And I was in the same boat as you, my parents could not find out that I was having sex.
Hopefully though that's not the case for you, and the antibiotics will clear it all up for you!
I know the pain and itch ***** :(

Like I posted early, you can get a yeast infection or even BV from a multitude of things. Many dealing with bad hygeine. It's very common for non-sexually active women to get it. So don't feel any shame telling your mom you might think you have one, because sex is NOT the only thing you can get it from.
