If detected early, cervical cancer is one of the most effectively treated cancers. Therefore, attendance at cervical screening appointments, where the health of the cervix can be checked, is vitally important. However, there is a known health inequality in relation to the LGBTQIA+ population and attendance at cervical screening appointments. Some barriers to attendance include administrative processes, previous negative experiences with healthcare professionals, discrimination and embarrassment. This literature review was undertaken to explore the experience of LGBTQIA+ people and cervical screening from a global perspective. A total of nine papers were included and thematically analysed. The fours themes identified were discrimination, gender dysphoria, interpersonal and emotional experiences and relationships with healthcare providers. Healthcare professionals, such as general practice nurses (GPNs), should be aware of potential factors which may prohibit attendance from this population and encourage and increase engagement with the cervical screening programme. It is imperative that care provided should be person-centred, compassionate and informed to support reattendance and, importantly, engagement with the healthcare system as a whole.
