GAY PEOPLE'S CHRONICLE

September 12, 2003

THE DOCTOR'S IN. ARE YOU OUT?

"I don't have sex with men. Why do I need to get tested for STDs?"

Women who have sex with women are at risk for Bacterial Vaginosis and the Human Papilloma Virus

(genital warts), two STDs that have been shown to be commonly passed between women.

"Why would I need to get a Pap smear or go to a gynecologist?

Lesbian and bisexual women are at increased risk for various gynecological

cancers.

Also, research has shown that they have a higher risk of breast cancer than their heterosexual counterparts.

COME OUT FOR GOOD HEALTH.

A Center survey in 2000 revealed that 35% of lesbian and bisexual women are not out to their doctors. Coming out to your doctor can help you receive better health care.
