Lesbian and bisexual women's sexual health is neglected in much Government policy and practice in England and Wales. This paper examines lesbian and bisexual women's negotiation of sexual health, drawing on findings from a small research project. Themes explored include invisibility and lack of information, influences on decision-making and sexual activities and experiences of services and barriers to sexual healthcare. Key issues of importance in this respect are homophobic and heterosexist social contexts. Drawing on understandings of lesbian, gay and bisexual human rights, sexual rights and sexual citizenship, it is argued that these are useful lenses through which to examine and address lesbian and bisexual women's sexual health and related inequalities.
在英格兰和威尔士，政府的许多政策和实践都忽略了女同性恋和双性恋女性的性健康。本文通过一项小型研究项目的结果，考察了女同性恋和双性恋女性对性健康的协商，探讨的主题包括隐形和缺乏信息、对决策的影响以及对服务和性保健障碍的性活动和经验。在这方面，重要的关键问题是恐同和异性恋的社会背景。借鉴对女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋人权、性权利和性公民身份的理解，本文认为，这些是通过这些镜头来审视和解决女同性恋和双性恋女性的性健康及相关不平等问题的有用工具。
