Pesquisa descritiva, qualitativa, cujo objetivo foi analisar o processo de interação da mulher com o diagnóstico de infecção pelo papilomavírus humano (HPV) no contexto de rastreamento para câncer do colo do útero. Realizada em treze comunidades dos municípios de Duque de Caxias e Nova Iguaçu, no Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Os participantes foram 20 mulheres que tiveram diagnóstico de infecção pelo HPV dos tipos relacionados ao alto risco oncogênico, pelo método de captura híbrida. Para coleta de dados, utilizou-se a entrevista semi-estruturada. A análise baseou-se nos pressupostos do Interacionismo Simbólico e da Grounded Theory. Os resultados evidenciaram a importante esfera de interação consigo mesma, na qual predomina o significado de ter que lidar com uma realidade incontestável determinada pelo fato de ser portadora do HPV. Para as mulheres, esta é uma doença era até então desconhecida e que lhes impõe mudanças na vida inesperadas e difíceis de aceitar.
