Resumen
This article focuses on the relationship between health care for women who have sex with women and representations of gender, sexuality, and the body. The study used ethnographic observation and in-depth interviews held from 2003 to 2006, with 30 women ranging from 18 to 45 years of age, belonging to different social segments, backgrounds,and sexual identities, living in Greater Metropolitan São Paulo. Analysis of the material pointed to greater difficulty in accessing gynecological care for lower-income women, those who had never had sex with men, or those with masculine body language. Not only the negative representations and experiences in relation to health services, but also identity constructions concerning gender and sexuality, are related to difficulties in accessing health care. Although a large share of the relevant international literature emphasizes the relationship between homophobia and decreased access to health services, the findings suggest that although situations involving discrimination are a reality, they were not considered impediments to the search for care, and were more associated with reporting of erotic practices and preferences at the services. 25 SUPP 2 S291 S300 Facchini, R., (2008) Entre Umas E Outras: Mulheres, (homo)sexualidades E Diferenças Na Cidade De São Paulo [tese De Doutorado], , Campinas: Instituto de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Universidade Estadual de Campinas Aaron, D.J., Markovic, N., Danielson, M.E., Honnold, J.A., Janosky, J.E., Schmidt, N.J., Behavioral risk factors for disease and preventive health practices among lesbians (2001) Am J Public Health, 91, pp. 972-5 Diamant, A.L., Wold, C., Spritzer, K., Gelberg, L., Health behaviors, health status, and access to and use of health care: A population-based study of lesbian, bisexual, and heterosexual women (2000) Arch Fam Med, 9, pp. 1043-51 Denenberg, R., Report on lesbian health (1995) Womens Health Issues, 5, pp. 81-91 Diamant, A.L., Schuster, M.A., Lever, J., Receipt of preventive health care services by lesbians (2000) Am J Prev Med, 19, pp. 141-8 Fethers, K., Marks, C., Mindel, A., Estcourt, C.S., Sexually transmitted infections and risk behaviours in women who have sex with women (2000) Sex Transm Infect, 76, pp. 345-9 Marrazzo, J.M., Stine, K., Koutsky, L.A., Genital human papillomavirus infection in women who have sex with women: A review (2000) Am J Obstet Gynecol, 183, pp. 770-4 Rankow, E.J., Lesbian health issues for the primary care provider (1995) J Fam Pract, 40, pp. 486-96 Rankow, E.J., Tessaro, I., Cervical cancer risk and Papanicolaou screening in a sample of lesbian and bisexual women (1998) J Fam Pract, 47, pp. 139-43 Roberts, S.J., Sorensen, L., Lesbian health care: A review and recommendations for health promotion in primary care settings (1995) Nurse Pract, 20, pp. 42-7 Bernhard, L.A., Lesbian health and health care (2001) Annu Rev Nurs Res, 19, pp. 145-77 Bergeron, S., Senn, C.Y., Health care utilization in a sample of Canadian lesbian women: Predictors of risk and resilience (2003) Women Health, 37, pp. 19-35 Boehmer, U., Case, P., Physicians don't ask, sometimes patients tell: Disclosure of sexual orientation among women with breast carcinoma (2004) Cancer, 101, pp. 1882-9 Andersson, D., Westerstahl, A., Gynecologists about lesbian women: An interview study.
