People who inty as lbian, gay, bisexual and transgenr (LGBT) have specific health needs. Sexual orientatn and genr inty are social termants of health, as homophobia and heteronormativy persist as prejudic society. LGBT patients often experience discrimatn and prejudice health re settgs. While recent South Ain polici regnise the need for providg LGBT specific health re, no curricula for teachg about LGBT health related issu exist South Ain health scienc faculti. This study aimed to terme the extent to which LGBT health related ntent is tght the Universy of Cape Town’s medil curriculum. A curriculum mappg exercise was nducted through an onle survey of all amic staff at the UCT health scienc faculty, termg LGBT health related ntent, pedagogil methodology and asssment. 127 amics, across 31 divisns and rearch uns the Faculty of Health Scienc, rpond to the survey, of which 93 pleted the qutnnaire. Ten tght some ntent related to LGBT health the MBChB curriculum. No LGBT health related ntent was tght the allied health scienc curricula. The MBChB curriculum provid no opportuny for stunts to challenge their own attus towards LGBT patients, and key LGBT health topics such as safer sex, mental health, substance abe and adolcent health were not addrsed. At prent, UCTs health scienc curricula do not aquately addrs LGBT specific health issu. Where LGBT health related ntent is tght the MBChB curriculum, is largely discretnary, unsystematic and not rporated to the overarchg stcture. Coordated iativ to tegrate LGBT health related ntent to all health scienc curricula should be supported, and follow an approach that challeng stunts to velop profsnal attus and behavur ncerng re for patients om LGBT backgrounds, as well as providg them wh specific LGBT health knowledge. Edutg health profsns stunts on the health needs of LGBT people is sential to improvg this populatn’s health by providg petent and non-judgmental re.

Sexual orientatn and genr inty are social termants of health, as homophobia and heteronormativy persist as prejudic society. BackgroundIntifyg as lbian, gay, bisexual or transgenr (LGBTa, for a plete termology see Table 1) is not geilly or blogilly hazardo, but societal homophobia nfers risk factors for LGBT people’s well beg. Homophobia, the irratnal fear and hatred of people who are attracted to the same sex, leads to social excln, experienc of discrimatn and stigma, and the worst se to vlence directed agast people whose real or perceived sexual orientatn do not f the narrowly fed heterosexual norms [1].
For example, Southern Ai sexual vlence agast lbian women, often motivated by homophobia, plac them at an creased risk for HIV fectn [2]. 8% of Amerins intify as lbian, gay, bisexual or transgenr, and even more (8.
A 2006 South Ain study highlights the alarmg nsequenc for LGBT people’s health-seekg behavur: the provce of the Wtern Cape, 16% of LGBT people eher layed seekg health re for fear of homophobic treatment, or did not seek medil help at all [14]. The fear of homophobic treatment is often jtified: recent reports om var South Ain ntexts document that gay men, lbian women and transgenr people are discrimated agast, sulted, and sometim even refed health re when accsg HIV servic [15–18].

[17] report that all gay men their study who vised clics the Soweto area experienced name-llg, ridiculg or other forms of discrimatn. The non-ernmental anisatn OUT reports that 12% of gay men and lbian women Gteng and 13% KwaZulu-Natal layed seekg treatment at clics bee of fear of discrimatn, while 6% of participants Gteng and 5% KwaZulu-Natal had been refed treatment bee of their sexual orientatn [28]. The fdgs are unsurprisg given that 61% of South Ains thk that society should not accept homosexualyb, and health profsnals’ attus are clearly rooted wir societal perceptns.
Creatg opportuni for medil stunts to engage wh their own attus towards homosexualy n provi the space to challenge the societal assumptns. Given that South Ai, the HIV prevalence among men who intify as gay and men who have sex wh men is timated between 34 and 49 per cent [8, 31], this lack of knowledge is fensible.
