<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>HPV, a sexually transmitted viral infection, is the etiological agent of significant dermatologic disease including benign anogenital warts and invasive cancers. Sexual and gender minority individuals are particularly vulnerable to HPV‐associated disease due to reduced vaccination rates in these cohorts, low awareness of HPV, lack of provider recommendation, and inadequate consensus guidelines on screening and prevention in these individuals. A targeted approach is needed with regards to vaccination in all children —especially those from racial, ethnic, sexual, and gender minorities; provider recommendation, especially from pediatric dermatologists, is crucial. Effort must also be made to use transgender and non‐binary affirming language as dividing vaccination programs by anatomic sex and sexuality reinforces problematic notions of gender identity and sexuality, isolating the most vulnerable.</jats:p>
