<strong>Taking</strong> a Sexual <strong>History</strong><br />

Contextualize a sexual history, emphasizing that it is<br />

routine with all patients <strong>and</strong> confidential.<br />

� Now I am going to ask you some questions about your<br />

sexual health. These questions are very personal, but are<br />

important for me to know to help keep you healthy. I ask<br />

these questions of all my patients, <strong>and</strong> they are just as<br />

important as questions about your overall physical <strong>and</strong><br />

mental health. Like the rest of this visit, this information is<br />

strictly confidential.
