Strategies to Optimize Cervical Cancer Screening Rates Among Transgender and Gender-Diverse People Assigned Female at Birth.
Self-sampling for primary HPV detection for cervical cancer screening is now FDA-approved. Many persons interested in cervical cancer screening are eager to opt out of the invasive speculum exam and opt into the self-sampling. There is no limitation on which persons can choose self-sampling. ⋯ However, no clinical guidelines describe the best practices to increase screening among this underserved population. Much community work needs to occur to make the language of screening gender-affirming for all participants. Solutions to currently invasive follow-up exams after abnormal screens need to be communicated in language directed by the TGD AFAB community.
