Os problemas enfrentados quanto ao acesso aos serviços de saúde pelos usuários LGBT ainda são complexos, de modo específico, nos casos das travestis e transexuais. Este é o recorte de um projeto de pesquisa com abordagem qualitativa, o qual objetiva desvelar as percepções dos LGBT quanto aos atendimentos que recebem nos serviços de saúde de Cuiabá – MT. Foi utilizada a metodologia da roda de conversas para coleta de dados. Os sujeitos referiram despreparo dos profissionais da saúde no acolhimento e atendimento às suas demandas, demonstrando que a academia não os prepara para este tipo de atenção específica e nem as políticas de saúde integral à saúde LGBT estão efetivadas na prática. Espaços de fala e escuta possibilitam aos sujeitos expressarem seus sentimentos e vivências, permitindo-os expressar como deveria ser o atendimento à saúde com equidade e qualidade.
