This is a study that had as its object the sexual and reproductive care for lesbian women, by medical professionals and nurses, from the perspective of functioning. Its general objective was: To analyze the basic functions of lesbian women that are facilitated or denied based on professional moral actions, of nurses and doctors, during sexual and reproductive assistance. And as specific objectives: Discuss the influence of the professional's moral actions on their practices in sexual and reproductive assistance to lesbian women; Identify the specificities in sexual and reproductive assistance for lesbian women; To describe the functioning that are facilitated and denied during sexual and reproductive assistance to lesbian women. This research was exploratory-descriptive and qualitative in nature. The research participants were 17 health professionals, 13 nurses and 4 doctors, who provide sexual and reproductive health care in the city of Petropolis. To gain access to the participants, at least 1 ESF from each district was chosen to be able to cover the entire municipal territory. The choice was made through a random raffle and based on the acceptance of the professionals who worked in that unit. The choice of units was carried out at random, respecting the inclusion and exclusion criteria. After submission and approval by the Research Ethics Committees of IMS-UERJ and FMP/UNIFASE, data collection began. The data collection instrument was the semi-structured interview and the testimonies were analyzed through the content analysis proposed by Bardin. After data analysis, 4 categories were established, which are developed according to the chapters: Accompanying lesbian women during sexual and reproductive assistance and its basic functions; The reception of lesbian women in sexual and reproductive assistance; The singularities of lesbian women recognized or not by professionals during sexual and reproductive assistance; Professional disability and violence against lesbian women. With this study, it was found that for carrying out the basic functions, it is associated with the relationship established between the health professional and the lesbian woman, the openness that this professional gives to the woman to feel safe and comfortable to expose her sexuality and doubts, which are end up being linked to their morality. Another relevant aspect is the professional's interest in seeking updating, training and qualification in the singularities of assistance to lesbian women. In this sense, most of the interviewees fail to comply with the basic functions for qualified sexual and reproductive assistance to lesbian women.
