Can counseling curb drinking and boost HIV health? zambia study tests new approach

NCT ID NCT05121064

Summary

This study tested two types of counseling for adults in Zambia living with HIV who also struggle with unhealthy alcohol use and mental health issues. It compared a single-session talk, a more involved multi-session therapy program, and standard HIV care to see which best helps people reduce drinking, improve mental health, and stick to their HIV medication. The goal was to find better ways to support overall health for people managing these overlapping challenges.
