“…LGBTQ+ individuals of color received stigma in both LGBTQ+ and ethnic minority spaces (Ghabrial, 2017;MacCarthy et al, 2021;Quinn et al, 2022). Ranjit et al (2021) found HIV stigma in the context of Spanish-speaking communities to match that of English-speaking communities.…”

“…Five articles addressed racial discrimination (Bogart et al, 2020;DiGuiseppi et al, 2022;Ghabrial, 2017;MacCarthy et al, 2021;Quinn et al, 2022). One study acknowledged racial and undocumented discrimination in their qualitative study (Bogart et al, 2020;DiGuiseppi et al, 2022).…”

“…Four articles included HIV discrimination (Bogart et al, 2020;Iott et al, 2022;Quinn, 2022). Common themes were HIV being labeled as "dirty" and "slutty" in the LGBTQ+ community dating scenes (Iott et al, 2022) and how these attitudes prevented LGBTQ+ individuals from getting tested for HIV or avoiding PrEP use (Quinn et al, 2022). This form of discrimination had primarily adverse effects on reproductive health and relationships with other LGBTQ+ community members.…”

“…These barriers did impact the healthcare of LGBTQ+ communities, as evidenced by the higher prevalence of chronic conditions and STIs in LGBTQ+ patients compared to their heterosexual and cisgender counterparts (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2018; Elliott et al, 2015;Simoni et al, 2017;Wanta et al, 2019). The effect of comradery cannot be understated; seeing other LGBTQ+ members existing in public spaces has positively affected a population's health, as demonstrated by findings among black LGBTQ+ individuals (Quinn et al, 2022). Having insider HCPs could aid in understanding the specific needs of LGBTQ+ communities; this could be another tool for addressing health disparities.…”

This systematic review examines the global literature on LGBTQ+ stigma and health. Indeed, the LGBTQ+ community has experienced a poignant history of stigma, resulting in adverse health consequences. The current review synthesizes 46 articles conducted in multiple cultural settings. The focuses of the selected articles varied from mental health, physical health, suicide, drug and alcohol use, HIV stigma, and healthcare among LGBTQ+ communities. The selected studies similarly found that stigma and discrimination against LGBTQ+ individuals have fueled adverse mental health and health behaviors. These risky behaviors included eating disorders, self-harm, suicide, substance use, unprotected sex, avoidance of healthcare appointments, perceived stigma, as well as healthcare provider (HCP) stigma. Racism in the LGBTQ+ community, racial/ethnic identities of LGBTQ+ individuals, and cultural rejection of homosexuality were also discussed. Future research should pay more attention to intersectional stigma and the social networks of LGBTQ+ communities.
