Bioethical implications in health care for the LGBTT public

The aim of this study was to analyze academic publications regarding actions of health care for lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transvestites and the trans gender (LGBTT), in a focus of principialist bioethics. The methodology employed was trial design, in which the data gathered were divided into two sets: academic productions, and documents standardizing LGBTT health policy in the Single Health System (SUS). The studies showed that beyond the the actions aimed at the health of LGBTT, there exist prejudice and discrimination, requiring a new examination of ethical and bioethical interaction between the professional and the user. Thus professional performance based on principialist bioethics may be considered a way of overcoming values judgments on the part of health professionals, helping better pursue the integral nature of care.
