Difficulties faced in the access to health by LGBT users

Abstract

The problems faced in terms of access to health services by LGBT users are still complex, specifically, in the cases of transvestites and transsexuals. This is the outline of a research project with a qualitative approach, which aims to reveal the perceptions of LGBT people regarding the care they receive in the health services of Cuiabá - MT. The conversation wheel methodology was used for data collection. The subjects reported the health professionals' unpreparedness in welcoming and meeting their demands, demonstrating that the academy does not prepare them for this type of specific care, nor that the comprehensive health policies for LGBT health are implemented in practice. Spaces of speech and listening enable subjects to express their feelings and experiences, allowing them to express how health care should be with equity and quality.
