Sexo seguro entre mujeres
Cosmopolitan en Español - México|Junio 12 - 2019

Muchas veces se piensa que si se quita el embarazo de la mesa, se eliminan todos los problemas. Sin embargo, las mujeres bisexuales y lesbianas continuan en riesgo de contraer enfermedades de transmisión sexual.

Por Michelle Mejía
Sexo seguro entre mujeres

“Tenía una relación estable con Mariana, ella es bisexual. Éramos muy limpias en el uso de juguetes y yo pensaba que nos cuidábamos al ser exclusivas. Un día hablando con mi ginecóloga le confesé que tenía una relación estable con una mujer y que había dejado de tomar la pastilla. No la veía desde que había salido del clóset –hacía casi tres años–, así que la noticia fue todo un shock para ella. Me dedicó una sonrisa y me dijo que esa decisión no debí tomarla sin consultarlo con ella. Me regañó por dejar de asistir con un profesional por tanto tiempo. Después me dijo que no debería de confiarme de mi pareja, que nos teníamos que cuidar entre las dos… pero usando uno o varios métodos de prevención de enfermedades de transmisión sexual (ETS). Nunca lo había pensado, hablando con otras amigas ‘les’ me dijeron que ellas tampoco usaban protección cuando tenían relación con su pareja o con cualquier otra mujer”. — BRENDA, 26 AÑOS.

En Norteamérica, una de cada tres mujeres (bisexuales y lesbianas) tienen VB (vaginosis bacteriana). En Latinoamérica, Chile reporta hasta un 32%; en adolescentes lesbianas de Brasil se reportan casos de más de 30%.

El sistema de salud y otros mitos

Para muchas mujeres adultas, la atención médica gira en torno a la necesidad de anticoncepción. El sistema médico en México y Latinoamérica está diseñado alrededor de esto y se supone que todas son heterosexuales.
