Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Sexual and reproductive healthcare is essential for all individuals, including LGBTQ+ individuals. However, lesbians and bisexual women often lack tailored services, leading to underutilization. This study aimed to assess the availability and uptake of sexual and reproductive health services for lesbian and bisexual Bulawayo women.
UNASSIGNED: A cross-sectional study surveyed 67 lesbian and bisexual women recruited through the Voice of the Voiceless Organization. The participants completed a structured questionnaire on available services, factors influencing their uptake, and access challenges. Cross-tabulation was used to examine the associations between variables. Data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel and STATA Version 15 S.E.
UNASSIGNED: Most respondents were bisexual women aged 35 years. Cross-tabulations revealed significant associations between delayed or avoided services and the absence of specific services for lesbians and bisexual women as well as the presence of gender identity nondiscrimination policies.
UNASSIGNED: Sexual and reproductive health programs play a vital role in meeting lesbian and bisexual women\'s needs. Improving service uptake requires strengthening the linkages between clinics and sexual health education programs, providing lesbian and bisexual women-friendly clinical services, and ensuring access to comprehensive information.

摘要：
■性健康和生殖健康对所有个人都至关重要，包括LGBTQ+个人。然而,女同性恋者和双性恋女性往往缺乏量身定制的服务，导致利用不足。这项研究旨在评估女同性恋和双性恋Bulawayo妇女的性健康和生殖健康服务的可用性和吸收。
■一项横断面研究调查了通过“无声组织之声”招募的67名女同性恋和双性恋女性。参与者填写了一份关于现有服务的结构化问卷，影响它们摄取的因素，和访问挑战。交叉制表用于检查变量之间的关联。数据使用MicrosoftExcel和STATA第15版S.E.
大多数受访者是35岁的双性恋女性。交叉表格显示，延迟或避免的服务与缺乏针对女同性恋者和双性恋妇女的特定服务之间存在重大关联，以及存在性别认同非歧视政策。
性健康和生殖健康计划在满足女同性恋和双性恋女性的需求方面发挥着至关重要的作用。改善服务吸收需要加强诊所和性健康教育计划之间的联系，提供女同性恋和双性恋女性友好的临床服务，并确保获得全面的信息。
