At present, there is a growing openness to the existence of a gay, lesbian and transgender community (LGBT), and many people
are not afraid of publicly acknowledging their orientation. Given that medical care for this part of the population differs in some
factors, we present in this article an overview of the most notable differences. We strive to provide information in such a way as
to be beneficial to common practice and to assist doctors in the preventive and curative care of these patients.

Keywords: LGBT, health care, sexual helth, erectile dysfunction, HIV
