Method: A systematic review of the available scientific literature was carried out in 11 databases, PubMed, EBSCO (Academic Search Complete, Academic Search Elite, Academic Source and MedicLatina), Ovid, Springer, Web of Sicence, Scopus, Science Direct and Wiley Online Library.

Conclusion: most studies are focused on men who have sex with men, however, it is important to consider the sexual behaviors of heterosexual men since they are a culturally important population in making decisions to carry out risky sexual behaviors or safe
