Sexual Health and Your Patients: A Provider’s Guide can help health care providers better integrate sexual health conversations and preventive services recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention into routine visits with adolescents and adults. By using this guide, providers can:
- Streamline their sexual history taking.
- Increase their delivery of recommended preventive sexual health services by using “at a glance” tables.
- Improve their care for LGBT patients.
- Be better prepared to discuss sexual health topics and answer patient questions.
- Become more knowledgeable about sexual health.
