Summary

This study tested whether brief or in-depth counseling could help people living with HIV in Zambia reduce unhealthy alcohol use and improve HIV treatment. 680 adults who were on HIV medication and had hazardous drinking plus mental health or substance use issues took part. Participants received either a brief talk, brief talk plus extra therapy, or standard care. The goal was to see if these approaches could increase HIV viral suppression and lower alcohol use.
