  This guide informs people of all ages, including teens and older adults, about sexual health. It focuses on the preventive services (screenings, vaccines, and counseling) that can help protect and improve your sexual health. The guide explains these recommended services and helps you find and talk with a health care provider.
  
  Typically, preventive service recommendations are made for “men” and “women.” We understand that this is not inclusive terminology and recognize that gender is not binary but rather a spectrum of biological, mental, and emotional traits that exist along a continuum. As a result, whenever possible we have split the recommendations into those for people with a vagina/vulva, those for people with a penis, and provided links to additional resources.
