Introduction: The aim of this systematic review was to synthesize the available behavioral interventions that have proven effective in promoting safe sexual behavior and the prevention of STIs, including HIV, in women who have experienced some form of violence. It describes some of the characteristics of these interventions and their impact on behavior modification. Method: Interventions published from January 1995 to January 2020, indexed in JCR, were included. A systematic review was conducted of the scientific literature included in the databases EBSCO Academic Search Complete, CINAHL, MEDLINE/PubMed, Springer, Web of Science, Elsevier, Dialnet, SciELO, and Google Scholar. The PRISMA statement recommendations and the steps proposed by Holly et al. were followed. Interventions were selected according to the proposed inclusion criteria, and the analyses were synthesized narratively, with the results tabulated. Results: Five intervention studies met the established inclusion criteria, all of which were randomized controlled trials. These interventions comprised between one and eight sessions in either individual or group formats, with a duration ranging from ten to 250 minutes. The results showed effectiveness in maintaining safer sexual behavior with condom use. Conclusions: Behavioral interventions for STI prevention and the maintenance of safe sexual behavior in women highlight the opportunity to guide research on intimate partner violence and STI prevention, thereby reducing gender-related health disparities.
