Coming out to your healthcare provider can make people nervous and uncomfortable, and unfortunately not every medical professional is sensitive to LGBT people and understands our unique healthcare needs and issues. In fact, the fear of how a doctor will react intimidates some lesbians and bisexual women, preventing them from disclosing their sexual orientation and impedes their access to quality health care. Some seek out doctors who understand their needs, but that can be a challenge, especially for those without insurance. |
The L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center’s Audre Lorde Lesbian Health Program can provide you with low-cost, culturally sensitive LGBT-friendly health services, including: breast and cervical cancer screenings; STD screenings and treatment; birth control; limited fertility testing; and alternative insemination procedures.
Take a pro-active role in your health care. Call and schedule a financial screening to see if you qualify.
