Leprosy is caused by Mycobacterium leprae, which has tropism through peripheral nerves. Although there are leprosy control programs implemented in Brazil with effective treatments and specific health policies the country was unable to stabilize epidemiological indicators and nurses are part of a collective process of this work. The objective of this work is to identify the use of Personal Protective Equipment by the professional during consultations with leprosy patients. This is a descriptive exploratory research with qualitative approach, field research, carried out in the Family-FHS Health Strategy of the Guanabara neighborhood in the municipality of Ananindeua/Pará. Data Analysis was used. The best way to understand this process is to verify the strategies exercised in the FHS being the best scenario for the professional to develop health actions. It is observed that fhs nurses are a professional who always needs to seek knowledge, because at all times he finds several situations related to the education and training of professionals under his supervision.
