Abstract
This research explores the sociodemographic variables and perceptions of healthcare experiences associated with Pap, HIV, and other STI testing among sexual minority women (SMW) in the Southern US. Results demonstrate SMW have unique healthcare needs that should be addressed in medical histories, PAP/STI/HIV testing, and broader health campaigns.
