LBGT individuals are susceptible to the same health problems as heterosexual individuals.
Many women mistakenly believe that just because their partner is a woman, they are immune from certain STDs and other gynecological problems. Moreover, if untreated, infections can develop into more serious problems such as cervical cancer, damaged reproductive organs, and infertility. It is important to note that there are LBGT-friendly health care providers and STD testing centers in the area, including MIT Medical. There are a number of sites off campus that offer anonymous HIV testing. Costs for tests and length of time to receive results vary by site.
