A lesbian sees a gynecologist for the first time. The patient has marked “sexually active” and “not married” on the intake form, and the physician asks what type of birth control she is using. The patient shrugs, and the physician spends several minutes discussing available options. She is sensitive to her needs but keeps insisting that she consider using birth control. As the woman leaves the office, she is upset and refuses to see this gynecologist again.
The physician uses intake forms that do not assume heterosexuality. The form asks if the patient is sexually active and then asks with men, women, or both. The form asks if the patient is single or has a partner. The physician takes her time in asking about the patient's sexual history, and takes time to assure confidentiality because many patients will not disclose sexual behaviors, especially on forms that can be viewed by the entire office staff. The physician then learns that the patient is in a lesbian, long-term, committed relationship, and currently has no need for birth control.
