Summary
This pilot study tests a program where a clinical pharmacist talks with people with HIV about the risks of drinking alcohol (with or without cannabis) while taking multiple medications, especially those that affect the brain. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce falls and improve thinking. The study will enroll 100 participants from VA sites and measure how well the program works and how acceptable it is to participants.

- If successful, this could lead to a practical program that helps people with HIV reduce their risk of falls and thinking problems by managing alcohol, cannabis, and medication use.

- This is a very early pilot study with only 100 participants, focused on whether the program is feasible and acceptable, not on proving it works. Results may not apply to all people with HIV.
