Abstract：
The human papillomavirus (HPV) carries a significant health risk for people with a cervix. Among transgender and nonbinary people, however, testing and treatment for HPV can pose difficulties, and even be traumatic at times. This current study is part of a larger mixed methods study conducted in Michigan in 2020, and it explores the experiences of transmasculine and nonbinary people with at-home self-swabbing HPV test kits and knowledge of HPV transmission/screenings. Phenomenological methods were used by conducting virtual qualitative interviews with ten transmasculine and nonbinary individuals with cervixes, ages 23-59. Interviews were independently coded by members of the research team and a tabletop theming method was used. Four themes were generated from the data: 1) Multilevel barriers; 2) \"Get it done, so I know that I am safe\"; 3) Contrasting preferences for care; and 4) Community calls for change. The discussion focuses on the implications of these findings for improving sexual health care for the transgender and nonbinary community, along with directions for further research.
摘要：
人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）对宫颈患者具有重大的健康风险。在变性人和非二元人中，然而,HPV的检测和治疗可能会带来困难，有时甚至会受到创伤。这项目前的研究是2020年在密歇根州进行的一项更大的混合方法研究的一部分，它探索了跨男性和非二元人群在家中自我擦拭HPV检测试剂盒和HPV传播/筛查知识的经验。现象学方法通过对十个子宫颈的跨男性和非二元个体进行虚拟定性访谈来使用，年龄23-59访谈由研究小组成员独立编码，并使用桌面主题化方法。从数据中产生了四个主题：1）多级障碍；2）“完成它，所以我知道我是安全的\“；3）对比护理偏好；和4）社区呼吁改变。讨论的重点是这些发现对改善变性人和非二元社区的性保健的影响，以及进一步研究的方向。
