Background: LGBTI population use health care services less frequently and in more severe disease stages than general population. Aim: to describe factors associated with non-use of health care services by LGBTI population in Peru in 2017. Methods: we performed a cross-sectional analytical study using data from the First Virtual Survey for LGBTI Population, 2017 in Peru. We designed a Possion regression model with robust variance to estimate the crude and adjusted prevalence ratio. Results: we included 5 646 participants. 15.85% did not use health care services. 74.04% lived in Lima and Callao. 29.84% did not have any health insurance, while 46.42% referred mental health problems. The outcome was more frequent in participants that came from the Central region of Peru (PR: 1.38, CI95%: 1.10-1.74, p 0.006); those who referred mental health problems (PR: 8.81, CI95%: 6.10-12.71, p < 0.001); and in those who felt they could not express their sexuality without fear (PR: 1.23, CI95%: 1.08-1.39, p 0.001). Conclusion: non-use of health care services by LGBTI Peruvian population was associated with living in the Central region of Peru, having mental health problems and not being able to express one’s sexuality without fear.
