Article 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.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate epidemiologic characteristics and postoperative complications among nonbinary, transgender, and cisgender adults undergoing mastectomy or breast augmentation. Comparable postoperative complication rates were observed between gender modality cohorts undergoing breast augmentation, but higher complication rates were observed among cisgender patients following mastectomy, likely due to variations in clinical indications and technique. These results underscore the safety of chest surgery for gender-diverse patients.

This review examines the effects of gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) on kidney health in transgender and gender diverse (TGD) populations, which face significant challenges in accessing medical care. GAHT, typically involves estrogen therapy for transgender women and transfeminine individuals, testosterone therapy for transgender men and transmasculine individuals, and therapy regimens for individuals who are nonbinary or identify with another gender not culturally assigned to their sex assigned at birth. Hormone therapy influences biomarkers such as creatinine and cystatin C, which are used in estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).

Although the intervention did not achieve its intended behavioral outcomes (e.g.
