I do not understand what it means. Do not understand how medical background can be honest ("honest" is usually an adjective that describes humans, not background... well, perhaps stories or accounts or reports, but still not background) and what the whole phrase is supposed to convey.

You personally might have been naive and inexperienced when you were 18, but OP has been able to locate a relevant forum among the wide variety of internet offerings, has been able to present her problem clearly and coherently and navigate the discussion well, so it seems to me that she is oriented enough and does not qualify as "naive and inexperienced".
