Feelings of vengefulness result from being treated unfairly. However, some individuals are more sensitive to unfair treatment and more likely to demand restitution than others. Degrees of vengefulness may influence behavior in HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM), where highly vengeful men may seek limited retribution by placing others at risk, for example, by failing to disclose their HIV-status to sexual partners. This study examined the tendency towards vengefulness in HIV-positive MSM and its associations with disclosure and condom use behaviors. Results showed that greater certainty of from whom participants had contracted HIV was associated with lowered vengefulness over time. Though condom use did not vary by vengefulness, MSM reporting higher vengefulness concealed their HIV serostatus more than men reporting less vengefulness. Vengeance was not related to individuals' perceptions that they had transmitted the disease to others. Overall, the data suggested identifying one's HIV transmitter was reconciliatory. Men reporting higher vengefulness might also derive a sense of justice from not disclosing their serostatus.
报复心理源于受到不公平对待。然而，一些人比其他人对不公平待遇更敏感，也更有可能要求赔偿。报复程度可能会影响男同性恋艾滋病毒感染者（MSM）的行为，报复心强的男性可能会通过让他人处于危险中来寻求有限的报复，例如，不向性伴侣透露自己的艾滋病毒感染状况。本研究调查了男同性恋艾滋病毒感染者的报复倾向及其与披露和使用避孕套行为的关联。结果显示，随着时间的推移，参与者感染艾滋病毒的确切来源越确定，报复心理就越低。虽然使用避孕套的情况并没有因报复心理而有所不同，但报复心理较强的男同性恋者比报复心理较弱的男性更多地隐瞒自己的艾滋病毒血清学状态。报复与个人认为自己将疾病传染给他人的认知无关。总体而言，数据表明确定自己的艾滋病毒传播者具有和解作用。报复心理较强的男性也可能从不透露自己的血清学状态中获得正义感。
