Title: Alcohol Consumption and Alcohol Reduction Intervention Among HIV Infected Persons in a Large Urban HIV Clinic in Uganda
Brief Summary: Background: Approximately 6.4% of Ugandans are living with HIV, that is acquired and transmitted mainly through sexual intercourse between an HIV infected and uninfected person. Uganda is ranked among 28 top per capita alcohol consumers in the world and second in Africa. in the general population, Alcohol consumption is associated with increased sexual transmission risks for HIV. Data on alcohol consumption and its impact on sexual behaviors and HIV disease progression among HIV infected persons, the persons able to transmit HIV are lacking in this setting.

Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of alcohol consumption among HIV infected persons, assess associations between alcohol and CD4 cell count as well as evaluate the effect of alcohol motivational intervention counseling on alcohol consumption and the subsequent practice of risky sexual behaviors, among HIV infected persons.

Methodology: Using both cross-sectional and longitudinal methods,persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) attending the Infectious Diseases Institute Clinic (IDI clinic) will be recruited, baseline alcohol consumption evaluated, and eligible subjects reporting alcohol consumption will be randomized to receive either Standard positive prevention counseling alone or in addition to alcohol motivation intervention counseling. Sexual risk behaviors and alcohol consumption will be evaluated at 3 and 6 months and compared between randomization arms.
