- Abstract
Objective: to analyze reports of lesbian women about sexual and reproductive health care in Primary Health Care services. Method: descriptive exploratory qualitative study conducted in 2019. Ten lesbian women exposed their reports in two focus group sessions, a strategy that generated the research data. These were submitted to thematic content analysis. Results: the participants expressed challenging cultural aspects for the quality of approaches, such as prejudice, body objectification, acceptance of homosexuality and ignorance of their affective-sexual practices. They understood that their sexual and reproductive health needs were not met, as they defined themselves, but recognized empathy and welcoming in the interaction with some health professionals. Final Considerations: care was revealed influenced by gender and sexuality stereotypes, which reduces access to quality Primary Health Care, which would support health care for lesbian women.
