    HPVs are responsible for triggering infections are highly prevalent among STDs, highlighting its relationship to the development of various types of cancers, among which the CA of the Cervix - the second leading cause of cancer mortality among women. Transmitted in any sexual practice, women who have sex with women are susceptible to infection , underscoring the fact that they are invisible, by reference health issues .Given this arises the purpose of identifying knowledge, ideas and risk prevention practices in relation to STD in general and HPV, particularly among MSM in order to subsidize intervention. The study was conducted with LGBT attending three points from the application of 149 questionnaires with open and closed questions, followed by focus groups, one in each location, with reference to the vulnerability perspective. Provided in a variety of sexual practices, they do not use protective devices, which expose them to infection by HPV. Prevention, therefore, is restricted to hygiene and confidence in partner, next to the medical control. it is worth saying that the whole sample was found a prevalence (self-reported) of 6.8 % for HPV infection. To disregard the importance of STDs in female homosexuality, they attribute the danger of transmission to humans, mediated penetration - by analogy to AIDS. Given the limited knowledge about the transmission and prevention of HPV, they express the desire to have more information available about it. Found the situation of vulnerability to HPV / STD , it is necessary not only preparation of health professionals in the care demands of MSM, as the extent of information media focused on this specific segment.
