Can a professor ask about personal health history? Like when my last pelvic exam was?

My professor has an assignment that asks all about our health history. It has questions such as when my last pelvic exam was, if I've ever been a victim of rape, have I ever had an STI or HIV, do I use illegal/illicit drugs, do I have a drinking problem, etc. These all feel like a huge invasion of privacy. I talked to my professor about it and let her know I was uncomfortable answering any of these questions. She told me that she's never had a problem with it before but I don't have to fill out the questionnaire if I don't want to. I can just write up a health assessment for myself. I'm curious if it's even legal to be asking these questions, though?
