Abstract

Objective: To report a health education experience with community health agents about the health of the LGBT population in basic care. Methods: A continuous education action was carried out by means of the study of cases chosen by health agents within their micro-areas of action followed by group discussion and reflection on current practices. Results: Three cases presented by the health agents that dealt with the themes of: (1) school and prejudice; (2) the importance of family and social support; and (3) the role of family health strategy and health education. It was noticed that the theme remains excluded from the great discussions, especially in medical schools and primary care, the first contact with the Brazilian health system (SUS), thus strategies that aim to discuss the peculiarities of prevention, promotion and health care of these groups should be stimulated and reproduced with a view to a better quality of care in order to capture these patients in an environment favorable to integrative practices with respect to sexual diversity. Conclusion: It was concluded that the educational activity performed was extremely important to demystify myths and prejudices involving LGBT health in the primary care setting. It was observed that after the educational activity the CHAs were more confident and sensitized on the topics addressed and changed conceptions in order to respect the decisions of the patients and to carry out an appropriate approach to the reception of these users.
