    AbstractExpand at first use ("lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (or questioning), and others"? Sexual health is a state of physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being in relation to sexuality. Factors that contribute to the sexual health of an LGBTQ+-identified patient include not only the physical state of the patient but also cultural and contextual factors that influence other aspects of well-being. To be effective in promoting sexual health, providers must maintain an attitude of accepting the patient's sexual orientation and gender identity as core aspects of sexual health. Providers need to examine paperwork, office space, and cultural competence in providing a safe medical home for the LGBTQ+ community.Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
