The aim of this research was to understand how the federal government, the social movements and the academy constructed health policies orientated to lesbians and how they appear in these actions. These actions are heterogeneous social products which include the interaction of human and non-human elements and form a socio-technical network. Among the elements of this network, we focused on the actions held by the federal government, the lesbian social movements and the academy. In this interaction, academy made itself present through the production of knowledge that lay the foundation for the lesbian social movement´s actions and demands; the government positioned itself as the interlocutor and receptor of those demands and transformed them into public policies. The procedures used in this research included the analysis of public domain documents that were the federal government s responsibility, interviews with some actresses that participated on the network formed around the lesbian s health, and field notes. The analysis were based on Actor- Network Theory and the discursive practices approach. The results show us that the claims for health are part of the lesbian social movement s organization and visibility strategies, which generated new norms and forms of pathologization of their sexual practices. The demarcation of the limits of normality by the federal government´s health policies occured through the focus on vulnerabilities to infection by STD/HVI/ Aids and viral hepatitis, through breast and cervical cancer, through the (domestic, sexual and institution) violence committed against lesbians and through the experiences of prejudice and discrimination
