Abstract
Contraception and fertility-associated advisement is needed for any individual with a uterus who is engaging in sexual activity with reproductive potential. As greater awareness spreads regarding the health care needs of transgender, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming individuals, the research on evidence-based care for these populations lags behind. Many clinicians may not be well versed in the best practices to support the sexual and reproductive well-being of individuals who are taking gender-affirming hormone therapy. This article reviews the use of contraception for individuals who are on testosterone gender-affirming hormone therapy. Each contraceptive method is individually considered for the risks and benefits that are unique to this population.Entities:
