The academic production motivated by HIV and Aids epidemic has impelled research works related to the sexuality, configurating new investigation fields, mainly about gays. However, in Brazil, the academic production which addresses to the STD vulnerability, taking the lesbian identity into account, is not significant. The sexual health of women, expected to be heterosexual, was connected to the unique preoccupation about reproduction along the course of policies in terms of the attention to women's health, even facing Aids. Increasingly, considering the heterosexual female sexuality, female homosexuality has tended, in the Brazilian society, to become invisible in the medical / gynecologic speech. The epidemic contributed to this continuing invisibility, due to strong beliefs in which the "lesbian body" would be the only one immune to the infection through the sexual via. The hypothesis guiding this paper is based on the idea that lesbians vulnerability is the "passport" for affirmation/inclusion of a certain identity mark in public policies agenda.
