I disclosed a friend’s medical condition to some other friends last week. Nothing bad happened (that I’m aware of) because of my actions but they were still wrong. Is my apology text okay?
“FRIEND! This apology is late because I kept forgetting to send it. Last week at (other friend’s) I disclosed that you have (condition). I later realized that that was very wrong of me and absolutely not my place. You may have not been ready to discuss that which could or did have negative consequences. I am sorry and absolutely will not do that again ever to you or anyone else.”

I recommend calling them instead of texting your apology. Have it written down so you can say what you need to say, but a call is more sincere than a text. If you feel uncomfortable about it, then maybe it will make you think more about what you say before you say it. Most likely, you’ll speak with them and they will be ok with it and you’ve worried for no reason. But via a text, you won’t really know how they reacted to your actions. It’s easy to get upset over a text and then reply back with “that’s ok” but still be really pissed. The right thing to do is often the hardest thing to do.
