Cisgenderism and transphobia in sexual health care and associations with testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections: Findings from the Australian Trans & Gender Diverse Sexual Health Survey

Transgender and gender diverse people have unique risks and needs in the context of sexual health, but little is known about sexual health care for this population. In 2018, a national, online survey of sexual health and well-being was conducted with trans and gender diverse people in Australia (n =...

description Transgender and gender diverse people have unique risks and needs in the context of sexual health, but little is known about sexual health care for this population. In 2018, a national, online survey of sexual health and well-being was conducted with trans and gender diverse people in Australia (n = 1,613). Data from this survey were analysed to describe uptake of sexual health care and experiences of interpersonal and structural cisgenderism and transphobia. Experiences of cisgenderism and transphobia in sexual health care were assessed using a new, four-item scale of 'gender insensitivity', which produced scores ranging from 0 (highly gender sensitive) to 4 (highly gender insensitive). Logistic and linear regression analyses were conducted to determine if experiences of gender insensitivity in sexual health care were associated with uptake and frequency of HIV/STI testing in the 12 months prior to participation. Trans and gender diverse participants primarily accessed sexual health care from general practice clinics (86.8%), followed by publicly funded sexual health clinics (45.6%), community-based services (22.3%), and general hospitals (14.9%). Experiences of gender insensitivity were common overall (73.2% of participants reported ≥2 negative experiences) but most common in hospitals (M = 2.9, SD = 1.3) and least common in community-based services (M = 1.3, SD = 1.4; p

When controlling for sociodemographic factors, social networks, general access to health care, and sexual practices, higher levels of gender insensitivity in previous sexual health care encounters were associated with a lower likelihood of recent HIV/STI testing (adjusted prevalence ratio = 0.92, 95% confidence interval [CI]:091,0.96, p&lt;0.001) and less-frequent HIV/STI testing (B = -0.07, 95%CI:-0.10,-0.03, p = 0.007). Given the high rates of HIV and other STIs among trans and gender diverse people in Australia and overseas, eliminating cisgenderism and transphobia in sexual health care may help improve access to diagnostic testing to reduce infection rates and support the overall sexual health and well-being of these populations.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1932-6203</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1932-6203</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0253589</identifier><identifier>PMID: 34288911</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>United States: Public Library of Science</publisher><subject>Acquired immune deficiency syndrome ; Adolescent ; Adult ; Aged ; Aged, 80 and over ; AIDS ; Attitude of Health Personnel ; Australia - epidemiology ; Biology and Life Sciences ; Confidence intervals ; Cross-Sectional Studies ; Delivery of Health Care ; Disease transmission ; Evaluation ; Female ; Gender ; Health aspects ; Health care ; Health care access ; Health care policy ; Health Care Surveys ; Health risks ; Health Services Accessibility ; Health surveys ; HIV ; HIV infection ; HIV Infections - diagnosis ; HIV Infections - epidemiology ; Homophobia ; Hospitals ; Human immunodeficiency virus ; Humans ; Infections ; Male ; Medical diagnosis ; Medicine and Health Sciences ; Middle Aged ; Patients ; People and Places ; Polls &amp; surveys ; Prejudice ; Public health ; Research and Analysis Methods ; Risk factors ; Sex industry ; Sexism ; Sexual and Gender Minorities - psychology ; Sexual Behavior - psychology ; Sexual health ; Sexually transmitted diseases ; Sexually Transmitted Diseases - diagnosis ; Sexually Transmitted Diseases - epidemiology ; Social networks ; Social organization ; Social Sciences ; Statistical analysis ; STD ; Stigma ; Transgender people ; Transgender Persons - psychology ; Transsexualism - psychology ; Well being ; Young Adult</subject><ispartof>PloS one, 2021-07, Vol.16 (7), p.e0253589-e0253589</ispartof><rights>COPYRIGHT 2021 Public Library of Science</rights><rights>2021 Rosenberg et al.

In 2018, a national, online survey of sexual health and well-being was conducted with trans and gender diverse people in Australia (n = 1,613). Data from this survey were analysed to describe uptake of sexual health care and experiences of interpersonal and structural cisgenderism and transphobia. Experiences of cisgenderism and transphobia in sexual health care were assessed using a new, four-item scale of 'gender insensitivity', which produced scores ranging from 0 (highly gender sensitive) to 4 (highly gender insensitive). Logistic and linear regression analyses were conducted to determine if experiences of gender insensitivity in sexual health care were associated with uptake and frequency of HIV/STI testing in the 12 months prior to participation. Trans and gender diverse participants primarily accessed sexual health care from general practice clinics (86.8%), followed by publicly funded sexual health clinics (45.6%), community-based services (22.3%), and general hospitals (14.9%). Experiences of gender insensitivity were common overall (73.2% of participants reported ≥2 negative experiences) but most common in hospitals (M = 2.9, SD = 1.3) and least common in community-based services (M = 1.3, SD = 1.4; p&lt;0.001). When controlling for sociodemographic factors, social networks, general access to health care, and sexual practices, higher levels of gender insensitivity in previous sexual health care encounters were associated with a lower likelihood of recent HIV/STI testing (adjusted prevalence ratio = 0.92, 95% confidence interval [CI]:091,0.96, p&lt;0.001) and less-frequent HIV/STI testing (B = -0.07, 95%CI:-0.10,-0.03, p = 0.007). Given the high rates of HIV and other STIs among trans and gender diverse people in Australia and overseas, eliminating cisgenderism and transphobia in sexual health care may help improve access to diagnostic testing to reduce infection rates and support the overall sexual health and well-being of these populations.</abstract><cop>United States</cop><pub>Public Library of Science</pub><pmid>34288911</pmid><doi>10.1371/journal.pone.0253589</doi><tpages>e0253589</tpages><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2586-8274</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7265-508X</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5741-6013</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0657-9677</orcidid><oa>free_for_read</oa></addata></record>
