摘要

Background: Monetary delay discounting is a measure of impulsivity associated with substance use and abuse, problem gambling, and other health-related outcomes. More recently, delay discounting has been shown to be associated with risky sexual behavior. We analyzed survey data from men who have sex with men who completed a monetary discounting task and reported sexual behaviors in the previous 12 months. Findings: Monetary delay discounting was associated with condomless anal intercourse among young (18-24 years), but not older, men who have sex with men. Conclusions: Monetary delay discounting may identify young men at increased risk of engaging in HIV risk behaviors.
