Questions arise concerning participants’ motives in risky studies, such as HIV vaccine trials (HVTs). We interviewed in-depth 20 gay/bisexual men. Participants described both altruistic and non-altruistic motives. Altruistic motivations emerged primarily, with nine typologies: 1) cultural; 2) community-related; 3) familial; 4) religious; 5) professional; 6) political (e.g., HIV activism); 7) moral (e.g., making up for past wrongs); 8) existential (e.g., providing sense of meaning); and 9) other psychological (e.g., emotional gratification). Views of compensation varied: not a factor (55%); added incentive (25%); main motivator, but in conjunction with altruism (15%); and primary motivator (5%). HVT participants thus often have both altruistic and financial motives, and related typologies emerged. These findings have critical implications for studies on HIV, other conditions, and research ethics.
