Although transgender and nonbinary (TNB) people can acquire human papillomavirus (HPV), research examining HPV vaccination in these populations is scarce. TNB individuals experience high levels of gender-related health care discrimination, which may undermine HPV vaccine uptake. Using data from a national online survey (=716), we found a negative association between gender-related health care discrimination and HPV vaccination among transgender women and nonbinary individuals who were assigned male at birth (AMAB; odds ratio [OR]=0.52; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.29-0.93). Addressing gender-related health care discrimination may facilitate HPV vaccination and help prevent HPV-related cancers among transgender women and nonbinary AMAB individuals.
尽管跨性别者和非二元性别者(TNB)可能感染人乳头瘤病毒(HPV),但针对这些人群的HPV疫苗接种研究却很少。TNB个体经历着高水平的与性别相关的医疗保健歧视,这可能会影响HPV疫苗的接种率。利用一项全国性在线调查(n = 716)的数据,我们发现,在出生时被认定为男性的跨性别女性和非二元性别个体(AMAB)中,与性别相关的医疗保健歧视和HPV疫苗接种之间存在负相关(优势比[OR]=0.52;95%置信区间[CI]:0.29 - 0.93)。解决与性别相关的医疗保健歧视可能会促进HPV疫苗接种,并有助于预防跨性别女性和非二元性别AMAB个体中与HPV相关的癌症。
