Blood test may help HIV patients cut down on drinking
NCT ID NCT07444359
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether sharing results from a blood test that shows recent alcohol use can help people with HIV drink less. Researchers will enroll 80 people in Uganda who drink heavily. Half will get standard counseling plus their blood test results, and half will get counseling alone. After 3 months, the team will check if the approach is acceptable and explore changes in drinking habits.
