520 _aIntroduction: Sexual and gender minorities (SGM) represent a vulnerable population, disproportionately affected by mental health issues, a higher exposure to violence and a higher prevalence of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV, for some subgroups. Derived from medical anthropology, the concept of a syndemic consists in the clustering and interaction between multiple health conditions through adverse social conditions such as discrimination or precarity. Confronted to the multitude of adverse conditions affecting SGM, this framework is pertinent to study their health and to propose interventions. Purpose of research: The purpose of this scoping review is to synthetize the knowledge regarding syndemic theory applied to sexual and gender minorities in order to propose concrete suggestions for scholarly research and field intervention. Results: 126 papers were included. European data as well as data concerning sexual minority women and transgender men are scarce. A co-occurrence of psychosocial conditions fostered by stigmatization is well-established. Furthermore, the presence of a syndemic was associated to sexual higher odds of acquiring HIV, suicidal behavior and healthcare utilization. Conclusions: The syndemic framework is important to the health of SGM, both for academic and interventional purposes. Current priorities should be to act against structural disadvantages leading to a syndemic, to improve our knowledge on SGM health in European context and to develop local programs based on peer-support.
