Health-Related Risk Factors for Women Who Have Sex with Women
Journal Title: Science Insights - Year 2022, Vol 40, Issue 4
Abstract
Women, bisexual women, certain heterosexual women, and people of the same sex in a setting are all examples of women who have sex with women (WSW). Extensive research on the behavioral traits and health status of the WSW community has revealed that they have a worse overall health status, a greater risk of sexually transmitted disease infection, and a worse mental health status than heterosexuals. By doing a study of the WSW population’s current characteristics, sexually transmitted disease infection status, mental and mental health state, and health-related risk factors, this paper establishes a foundation for health education and behavioral interventions with this population.
