Let me start by saying I'm old enough to be your grandfather. I tell you this so you will understand that the information I am about to supply is the truth and not a street rumor.
First: You can relax, if you are over 13 years of age you by law have medical confidentiality. This means you have a right to meet with your doctor(s) in private without parental supervision or observation. By law your doctor(s) cannot reveal any of your medical conditions to anyone, including parents, without your expressed written permission; this is the LAW. The Law is called HIPPA, Health Information Privacy and Portability Act. Under this law anyone in the medical profession, Doctors, Nurses, Paramedics, EMTs and all who work for them can be fined and sent to jail for 10 years for releasing medical information without permission.
Second: You should never lie to your doctor(s). A doctor cannot help you if they do not have a clear and concise medical history. The only care your doctor may have about you being sexually active is whether you are practicing safe sex. This is appropriate care for any doctor to offer any patient male or female. If you are not using condoms it would be a good idea not to have sex the night before seeing the doctor so she can have a clear view of your internal workings.
If you are not using condoms you should be no matter how well you know your partner and his sexual history. It is the best way to avoid STDs and the AIDs virus.
So now that you know there is nothing to be afraid of you can tell the doctor the truth and you can ask mom to wait in the waiting room while you see the doctor. If you don't want to tell mom yourself you can ask the nurse to ask the doctor to ask your mom to wait in the waiting room. They will both understand and be tactful in how they ask your mom to wait outside. Bring a note with you that you can slip to the nurse if need be.

Well generally when you go to the doctors for a check up such as this it is always best to tell your doctor the truth in case there is something wrong. If you didn't tell her she really couldn't find out with out some extensive medical examinations. If you do choose to tell her (which you should) doctors appointments are confidential. The doctors don't really tell your parents much unless they are in the examination room with you. Going to the doctors is nothing to be nervous about.
I really hope this helps
Thanks for the question!
