Theoretical Framework: The infection by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV ) and/or Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN) consists of a chronic degenerative disease of high morbidity and mortality. Objectives: To identify the clinical stage of the HPV and/or NIC infections at diagnosis; verify the therapeutic and preventive measures conducted, including on the partner(s); and correlate changes in women’s sexual behaviour after diagnosis. Methodology: A cross-sectional descriptive research using interviews with 100 women with HPV and/or NIC, treated at the Cancer Prevention Institute of Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil, between February and May, 2013. Results: At diagnosis, 59.0% of women were in the clinical stage of HPV, of which 58.0% were treated with trichloroacetic acid, 25.0% underwent conisation and 12.0% electrocautery. After diagnosis, 20 (55.5%) women reported decreased libido; 15 (41.7%) mentioned lack of libido; 27 (60.0%) decreased frequency of sexual intercourse; 17 (37.8%) opted for sexual abstinence; 15 (46.9%) reported anorgasmia, and 14 (43.7%) experienced orgasmic dysfunction. Conclusion: The care provided to these women should encompass listening and counselling specifically addressed to sexuality.
