This article seeks to understand transvestites and transsexual women sex workers' daily negotiations on "safe sex" and access to health services. An analysis was conducted with the support of the phenomenological research method, with three transvestites and two trans women sex workers being interviewed. The comprehensive analysis presented two categories: "Safe sex on the streets: negotiations of finances, risk and desire", which presents the elements negotiated in street experiences, and "Outsiders and Established: the selective visibility in institutions and their effects on trans health care", which unveils the senses in the experiences negotiated in the daily lives of health institutions.

Keywords : Transgender people; Transvestite; Access to health services; Sex work; Social discrimination.
