The eligibility criteria included observational studies involving men who have sex with men, regardless of sexual orientation, aged 16 or older, screened for oropharyngeal and rectal gonorrhea, and examining the role of oral fluids in transmission. Studies involving partners previously diagnosed with urogenital gonorrhea or reporting consistent condom use during receptive penoanal sex were excluded to avoid urethral-to-anorectal transmission bias.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>\n                      <jats:bold>Study Sample<\/jats:bold>\n                    <\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The databases employed were PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, EBSCO, SciELO, and the Virtual Health Library (VHL).
