Uptake, experiences and barriers to cervical screening for trans and non-binary people in Aotearoa New Zealand.

The current cervical screening program in Aotearoa does not consider the needs of TGNB people, leading to delayed and reduced uptake of cervical screening. Health providers require education on the reasons TGNB people delay or avoid cervical screening in order to provide appropriate information and affirmative healthcare environments. The human papillomavirus self-swab may address some of the existing barriers.
