Abstract
Recognizing the holistic definitions of sexual health, health-care providers must approach sexual health history taking with sensitivity, inclusivity, and a trauma-informed perspective. Many versions of what a sexual history should look like exist but certain principles are commonly found. Education of health-care providers on sexual history taking can involve reviewing the components of the sexual history but should also include the importance of using nonstigmatizing language, having a patient-centered approach, and practicing trauma-informed and culturally sensitive care.
