Abstract
Taking a sexual history and undertaking a genital examination are not skills regularly used in general medicine. While the structure and process of history-taking and clinical examination follow that seen in other medical specialties, aspects unique to taking a history that covers intimate subject matter require additional empathy, sensitivity and non-verbal skills, to enable clinicians to obtain the information needed to undertake an appropriately thorough assessment. This article aims to simplify sexual history-taking and examination, providing tips on how to do it well.
