Heil, Dennis Hand University of Vermont, Burlington, VT, United States Aims: Opioid-maintained (OM) women are at elevated risk for acquiring sexually transmitted infections (STIs) because they engage in risky sexual behaviors (e.g.multiple partners, trading sex for drugs/money, inconsistent condom use); little has been done to examine the decision-making processes underlying these risks. Ourprimary aim is to examine the influenceof delaydiscountingon hypothetical condom use among OM women using a novel Sexual Discounting Task (SDT; Johnson & Bruner, 2012). Methods: OM women (N=24) chose hypothetical sexual partners from a series of photographs and identified which of these partners they thought were: (1) most likely to have a STI, (2) least likely to have an STI, (3) most sexually desirable, and (4) least sexuallydesirable.Next, participants indicated their perceived likelihood of engaging in unprotected sex immediately vs. sex with a condom available either immediately or after various delays for each of the four hypothetical partners. Results: When condoms were available immediately, participants reported that they would be more likely to use a condom with the “most likely to have an STI” partner vs. the “least likely to have an STI” partner (95% vs. 67%, p< .005). Analyses of indifference points indicated a strong effect of delay in decreasing condom use within all four conditions. Area under the curve (AUC) values normalized relative to likelihood of choosing condom use on the 0-delay trial indicated greater delay discounting in the “most sexually desirable” condition vs. “least sexually desirable” condition (median of .27 vs. .93, p< .05). Differences in normalized AUC values between “most likely to have an STI” and “least likely to have an STI” conditions trended toward significance (median of .98 vs. .33, p= .056). Conclusions: Consistent with results observed among cocainedependent individuals, these preliminary results indicate the SDT is sensitive to factors that likely influence sexual behavior and condom use (i.e. desirability of a partner & perceived risk of STI) and suggests that delay discounting may contribute to risky sexual behavior among OM women.
