Attitudes of transgender men and non-binary people to cervical screening: a cross-sectional mixed-methods study in the UK.

Background: Transgender men and non-binary people assigned female at birth (TMNB) who have not had surgery to remove the cervix are recommended to undertake cervical screening with the same frequency as cisgender women, but evidence suggests that TMNB have lower odds of lifetime and up-to-date cervical screening uptake.

Aim: To understand the attitudes towards and preferences for cervical screening among UK-based TMNB.

Design And Setting: Cross-sectional survey of TMNB at an NHS gender identity clinic (GIC) and an NHS sexual health service specialising in care of transgender people.
