This article seeks to problematize relevant aspects of the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) in the health of
the LGBTQIA+ population and discuss the National Policy for Comprehensive Health of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, and
transsexuals (PNSI-LGBT). Instituted by Ordinance no. 2.836 in 2011, this policy aims to promote the integral health of
this population in an attempt to eradicate prejudice and reduce health inequalities. Moreover, it also discusses some psychological approaches to this topic. To address new ways of doing research in Psychology and other fields of knowledge, our methodological tool consists of the cartographic genealogy, which suggests the approximation and
complementarity of the concepts of genealogy and cartography proposed by Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, respectively. Health services must embrace this population, thus providing greater access links, legitimizing PNSI-LGBT applicability, and guaranteeing rights to integral health and equal care for LGBTQIA+ people.
