Abstract
Objectives: identify HIV testing and knowledge about post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) among men; and compare data among men who have (or do not have) sex with men.
Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 271 men participating in Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, selected through convenience sampling. The data were collected in the Sambadrome, with the help of a questionnaire in February 2017. The analysis was performed through the SPSS software.
Results: There were disparities in HIV testing and knowledge about PEP among men who have (or do not have) sex with men. Men who have sex with men have better behaviors and knowledge of coping with HIV.
Conclusion and implications for practice: HIV policies have managed to reach one of the key populations of the epidemic, men who have sex with men, yet men who do not have sex with men remain vulnerable.
