文摘

Although many transgender men may be able to conceive, their reproductive health needs are understudied.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed charts of transgender men presenting to a clinic for sex workers to describe the proportion at risk for pregnancy, pregnancy intentions, and contraceptive use.ResultsOf 26 transgender men identified, half were at risk for pregnancy. Most desired to avoid pregnancy but used only condoms or no contraception. Two individuals desired pregnancy, were taking testosterone (a teratogen), and not using contraception.ConclusionFurther research is needed to explore how to best provide family planning services including preconception and contraception care to transgender men.
