Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) are groups that need therapy, not only from a

psychological perspective, but also from a medical perspective. Of the 1437 HIV cases in

Padang City in 2015, 12% of them were LGBT perpetrators. This group has a high risk of

transmitting sexually transmitted diseases in the community, so that the supply of health

services should be well accessible. The purpose of this study was to analyze the availability of
health service supply for LGBT groups in Padang City.

Research with a qualitative design was conducted in February-July 2016. Informants were

determined by purposive sampling as many as 6 people, consisting of the Head of Disease

Eradication and Disaster Management, HIV-AIDS Program Holder, Adolescent Reproductive

Health Program Staff, VCT Midwives, Psychologists and Reproductive Health Midwives in
Padang City. Data were collected by using in-depth interviews, document review and

observation. The results of the study show that the supply of health services for the LGBT group

has been available and has been incorporated into the HIV-AIDS service program at the Public

Health Center in Padang since 2011. The service providers consist of doctors, midwives, nurses,

and health analysts who have been trained on services for the LGBT group. Services in the form
of counseling, health counseling and health checks. Health Checks in the form of physical

examinations and supporting examinations to detect the presence of HIV, sexually transmitted

infections and tuberculosis. The service time is the same as the general health service time.

The standard of equipment and health infrastructure for the LGBT group is the same as the

standard for all other types of reproductive health services. There is no special service program

for the LGBT group because it has been integrated with reproductive health services, but in
the future it is necessary to create a special consultation room so that the LGBT group feels

more comfortable and open in consulting.
