Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: In order to participate in the lab study, a participant may not: - already have an HIV infection (this might be an entirely different population with different norms for unsafe sexual behaviour, so they are excluded in this research) - have a history of alcohol dependence (self report) - have suffered a brain injury in the past resulting in neuropsychological problems - currently suffering from a depression;In order to participate in the intervention studies, a participant may not: - already have an HIV infection - currently suffering from a depression

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
For our laboratory study, we cannot use a direct measurement of sexual risk behaviour, we will therefore assess sexual risk behaviour using an adapted approach-avoidance task. In this task, one can measure in an implicit way how much a subject is inclined to either approach or avoid a certain stimulus. In this study, the stimulus will be pictures of unsafe sexual behaviour. To test the effect of our interventions, a questionnaire assessing their sexual risk behaviour of the last three months will be used as our main study parameter.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
For our laboratory study we will use other outcomes besides the approach-avoidance task. These are: *EEG data: We will measure working memory by using an auditory oddball task. The event-related potential (ERP) belonging to this task will be used as our dependent measure of working memory. *Implicit Association Task (IAT): The IAT is a computer task that can measure what people's implicit associations are. In this case we will investigate their implicit associations for unsafe sexual behaviour. *IOWA Gambling Task: The IOWA Gambling Task is a measure that will assess how much general risk behaviour people exhibit. In our intervention study we will also use EEG data to measure working memory as a secondary parameter.
