Abstract
Although transgender and nonbinary (TNB) people can acquire human papillomavirus (HPV), research examining HPV vaccination in these populations is scarce. TNB individuals experience high levels of gender-related health care discrimination, which may undermine HPV vaccine uptake. Using data from a national online survey (N=716), we found a negative association between gender-related health care discrimination and HPV vaccination among transgender women and nonbinary individuals who were assigned male at birth (AMAB; odds ratio [OR]=0.52; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.29-0.93). Addressing gender-related health care discrimination may facilitate HPV vaccination and help prevent HPV-related cancers among transgender women and nonbinary AMAB individuals.
