Healthline's LGBTQIA Safe Sex Guide The lack of representation and anti-LGBTQIA bias that LGBTQIA and nonbinary people often see in safe sex guides stigmatizes certain sexual behaviors and identities.

All Healthline articles are based on scientific evidence and written by experts.
This guide was created to serve as a resource in a time of need and answer any questions that LGBTQIA individuals may have about what to do next. Our team of licensed physicians, nurses, public health experts, and patient advocates help ensure that the information you receive is accurate, evidence-based, current, and trustworthy. We strive to be the most trusted ally in the pursuit of health and well-being.
