There is a continuous upward trend in the number of Latinas living in the US; thus, their need for safe and accessible sexual health care ever-growing. This article addresses the sexual health of Latinas through the framework of critical theory, answering the research question: "What are Latina immigrants' experiences with receiving sexual health care from providers in the United States?" The study was conducted through a community-based participatory research design in collaboration with Latina community members. Seven themes emerged that can enhance Latina's sexual health care cultural humility and the role of family in treatment. Implications for family therapists include advocating for screeners and interventions that are indicated for Latinas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
