Intervention model description: The "Safe and Protected Sex" intervention program for HPV is based on Fisher and Fisher's (1993) IMB model, using social motivation to promote specific preventive actions. It raises cognitive awareness among homosexual men, enhancing their knowledge and understanding of the benefits of protective measures. The program links HPV prevention information to behavior change, incorporating key details on transmission through a horizontal methodology in nursing consultations. The teaching process builds on individuals' perceptions, knowledge, and past experiences. Through reflective learning in nursing consultations, participants make informed decisions, shaping their understanding. HPV knowledge is seen as an evolving process influenced by beliefs, attitudes, concerns, and misconceptions. The intervention fosters a dialogic awareness process, encouraging critical reflection and motivation for prevention, ultimately aiming to create a lasting impact on personal health behavios
Primary purpose: PREVENTION

Brief summary: Intervention aimed at increasing knowledge of the human papillomavirus in homosexual men as a means of preventing sexually transmitted diseases and controlling complications associated with the pathology.

Detailed description: Introduction: The World Health Organization reports a 21% prevalence of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in men, with rates reaching 93% among homosexual men. This group exhibits specific characteristics, such as high rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) due to multiple partners and inconsistent condom use, along with limited knowledge about HPV. The intervention "Safe and Protected Sex", using a horizontal methodology, aims to address this health issue.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of the "Safe and Protected Sex" program on HPV knowledge among homosexual men.

Methodology: A quasi-experimental study with a test-retest design and convenience sampling. The sample size was calculated using n'Query Advisor 4.0, resulting in 20 homosexual men per group (n=40).

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Engage in sexual relationships with individuals of the same sex.
