Despite the 1988 Federal Constitution guaranteeing the right to universal and equal access to the entire population, through the Unified Health System (SUS), accessibility in primary health care (PHC) for the LGBTQIA+ community is still a major challenge. In this way, the objective was to survey the literature on the impasses encountered by the LGBTQIA+ population within the scope of PHC. For this, a search for studies was carried out through the electronic databases: PubMed, SciELO, Google Scholar and VHL, using the descriptors: Primary care “Primary attention”, Access to services “Access to services” LGBTQIA+ population “LGBTQIA+ population” and Saúde “Health”, combined by the Boolean operator “AND”. Only articles available in full were selected, being published in Portuguese or English, found in the time period from 2009 to March 2022, with content related to the central objective of the research. From the data analysis, it was evidenced that prejudice and discrimination are frequent violence in the daily life of the LGBTQIA+ population, having significant damages in several aspects of their life, especially on their health in an integral way. It was possible to understand that there is an invisibility regarding the care of the population that does not correspond to gender standards, due to the intense prejudice and discrimination on the part of professionals who do not have a preparation, since their graduation, to understand the social determinants and the themes. involving gender identity and sexual orientation. Thus, the LGBTQIA+ population is excluded from public health services and, consequently, a low life expectancy.
