简要总结
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.
详细描述
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).

This Spanish-language questionnaire is intended to measure knowledge about HPV. It is structured by 38 questions, distributed in four dimensions: 1) causal agent of HPV (1, 2 and 3); 2) risk factors (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15); 3) signs and symptoms (16, 17, 18, 19 and 20) and 4) prevention, diagnosis and treatment (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37 and 38). The structure for answering each of the questions is through a Likert-type scale, where three possible options are presented: A= true, B= false and C= don't know. To obtain the cut-off points of the instrument, percentiles (zero to 100) will be used, where Percentile 1 (P125) = no knowledge, Percentile 2 (P250) = insufficient knowledge, Percentile 3 (P375) = fair knowledge and Percentile 4 (P4100) = adequate knowledge
