The aim of this study was to examine the longitudinal effects of HIV protection intention, condom self-efficacy, psychosocial distress and hedonism on sexual risk behavior up to 5 years later. The sample included 1290 Swiss heterosexual young adults aged 16-24 years. A series of hierarchical logistic regression analyses yielded clear gender-specific result showing that for women condom self-efficacy and psychosocial distress, and for men HIV protection intention and hedonism, predicted sexual risk behavior up to 5 years later. The relationship between psychosocial distress and sexual risk behaviorn in women was partially mediated by a lower condom self-efficacy but not by a lower HIV protection intention. High hedonism in young men did not decrease HIV protection intention but had a direct effect on sexual resk behavior. Theoretical consequences for sociocognitive models of sexual risk behavior and practical implications for prevention are discussed.
