摘要
Lesbians have unique health concerns that often go unaddressed in a medical setting that assumes heterosexuality. These may include cancer screening, sexually transmitted diseases, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), depression, substance abuse, relationship issues, pregnancy, and parenting. Awareness of the barriers faced by lesbians seeking care, and an inclusive approach to the patient will allow primary care providers to be more effective in their interactions with all patients.
