The research presented in the study addresses the implementation and challenges of public health policies targeting the LGBTQIAP+ population, an issue that is considered urgent and highly relevant. The creation of the National Comprehensive Health Policy for Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transvestites and Transsexuals (LGBT) was a significant advance in the fight for equality in Brazil. However, the lack of studies and specific data can make it difficult to develop effective strategies to meet the health needs of this population group. Studies suggest that discrimination based on sexual orientation is associated with negative health outcomes, including violence and psychosocial stressors. The research conducted an integrative review of scientific production on this topic between 2018 and 2022, indexed in the Scielo, PubMed and Lilacs databases, using descriptors in the health sciences: 'LGBT' or 'gay' or 'lesbian' or 'transgender persons' ” or 'homosexuality' or 'bisexuality' or 'sexual and gender minorities' or 'gender identity' or 'transsexualism'. The findings pointed to several barriers to the implementation of public policies for the LGBTQIAP+ population in Brazil, including the lack of laws protecting rights, ineffective communication between the state and civil society, lack of budgetary resources for plans and programs, and a lack of political representation of the LGBTQIAP+ community. At a time when conservative forces are on the rise and rights are being dismantled, it is crucial to address the current challenges of building comprehensive healthcare while taking sexual and gender diversity into account.
