We outline a protocol to conduct a scoping review of research on the barriers that may impede these men's access to sexual healthcare.<h4>Methods and analysis</h4>To conduct this scoping review, we will follow the methodological framework developed by Arksey and O'Malley and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses' extension for scoping reviews. To classify the barriers to sexual healthcare, we will employ Bronfenbrenner's socioecological model as a conceptual framework.
