A New Approach to Sexual History Taking: A Video Series

This video series showcases six healthcare providers discussing the importance of taking a comprehensive sexual health history and introduces a new 6th P created by the National Coalition for Sexual Health that addresses pleasure, problems, and pride. The 6th P builds upon CDC's 5 Ps approach that asks patients about 1) Partners 2) Practices 3) Past History of STIs 4) Protection, and 5) Pregnancy. Specifically, the 6th P (or “Plus”) explores sexual satisfaction, functioning, concerns, and support for one's gender identity and sexual orientation.
