LGBTQ+ Cervical Screenings
Cervical screenings are a vital health measure for everyone who has a cervix. Cervical screenings detect changes in the cells of the cervix and identify the presence of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), which if untreated can lead to cervical cancer. Regular cervical screenings are estimated to prevent up to 75% of potential cervical cancers ever developing.
It is a myth that cervical screenings are only needed if you have heterosexual sex. Lesbian and bisexual women, transgender men and non-binary people with cervixes all still need to attend cervical screenings, and to attend as regularly as heterosexual or cisgender women.
If you are between the ages of 25 and 64 and need to book a cervical screening, please speak to a member of staff today.
