Abstract

Risky decisions in youth can increase the risk for substance use as well as acquisition of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV. Understanding how HIV/AIDS-related knowledge and perceptions and neurocognitive factors underlying risky decision making combine within distinct risk profiles may help identify youth for tailored prevention strategies.
