Methods: Cross-sectional, descriptive and exploratory study. The population was composed by 52 users of AHI. Data were collected through interviews, which followed form developed by the authors, and identified factors that contraindicate or indicate the use of the method, classifying them into categories from 1 to 4. The project was approved by the Ethics Committee of the University Federal do Ceará, CAAE: 36668314.3.0000.5054. Results: Were identified 44 (84.7%) women in safe use and 8 (15.3%) in unsafe use. Users with over a year of use had a higher frequency of unsafe use (p=0.001). Conclusion: Following WHO recommendations should be routine in nursing consultation to the protection and safety of women.
