LGBTQ+ people face significant health disparities compared to the general population. These are not caused by sexual orientation or gender identity themselves, but by the effects of stigma, discrimination, minority stress, and barriers to affirming healthcare. Understanding these disparities is the first step toward eliminating them.
LGBTQ+ adults are more than twice as likely to experience a mental health condition as heterosexual adults. Among LGBTQ+ youth, 41% seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year. These numbers are dramatically reduced by family acceptance and access to affirming care.
Gay and bisexual men account for 70% of new HIV diagnoses in the United States each year. Black and Latino MSM are disproportionately impacted. PrEP, regular testing, and treatment access are the most powerful tools we have to end this disparity.
Nearly one-third of transgender adults report being denied care, subjected to harassment by providers, or avoiding healthcare altogether due to fear of discrimination. Only 56% of trans people have a doctor they can talk to about trans-related health issues.
LGBTQ+ adults are more than twice as likely to use illicit drugs and are at higher risk for alcohol use disorder than heterosexual adults. These rates are driven by minority stress and discrimination, not identity. Affirming, LGBTQ+-competent substance use treatment significantly improves outcomes.
