Screen With Pride! Your Queer Bits deserve care and attention – and so do you.

Breast and cervical screening can detect early signs of cancer before symptoms appear.

Anyone with breast tissue or a cervix may need screening, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation. Understanding your eligibility and attending screening when invited can play an important role in protecting your health.

How to self examine for everyone

Learning how to check your body regularly can help you notice any unusual changes early and seek medical advice if something does not feel right. Find out more at CoppaFeel! - Self Examination

General LGBTQ+ information about cervical screening

Cervical screening is an important health check for anyone who has a cervix, including many people within LGBTQ+ communities.


Breast/chest cancer links (Trans Specific)

Breast or chest cancer can affect people of all genders who have breast tissue, including many trans and non-binary people, which is why clear and inclusive information about screening and symptoms matters.


Breast and cervical screening for queer people

Breast and cervical screening are important health checks that help detect cancer early, and they are relevant for many people across LGBTQ+ communities depending on the body parts they have.

Cervical screening for trans people

Cervical screening is important for anyone who has a cervix, including some trans men and non-binary people, and it helps detect early changes that could develop into cancer if left untreated.


Cervical screening for lesbian and bisexual women

Cervical screening is important for lesbian and bisexual women who have a cervix, as the risk of cervical cancer is not limited by sexual orientation.
