description The objective of this study was to analyse publications from 2018 through 2020 on the acceptability and viability of technology-mediated HIV prevention interventions, taken as a leading indicator in evaluating their effectiveness, in such a way for these indicators to allow the acquisition of more accurate results in the final phase. Through a systematic review using the PRISMA method, a total of 17 papers were found in three specialized databases (EBSCO, Web of Science and Scopus). A majority of these interventions were mediated online to reduce risky sexual behaviors, with two strategies showing clear prevalence: Open interviews and questionnaires employing the Likert scale or analogous tools. The results of these investigations were unanimous in finding the use of technological means in preventing HIV both feasible and pertinent, meeting expected results. The importance of considering both indicators in evaluating the viability of these methods is discussed, as is the importance of carrying out this assessment prior to continuing such interventions on a larger scale.
