Primary outcomePrimary: Change in Problematic Alcohol Use — -0.95; -1.00 score on a scale
Summary
While advances in medication have led to greatly improved outcomes for people living with HIV/AIDS, less than one-third of all people living with the disease are adherent enough to their medication to achieve viral suppression. Alcohol consumption has been shown to have a significant effect on HIV medication adherence, so the proposed research will aim to reduce alcohol use among people living with HIV/AIDS through a technology-driven intervention. This eight-session intervention will be delivered using a combination of videoconferencing, smart phones, and Bluetooth-enabled breathalyzers for monitoring of alcohol consumption, with an overall goal of reducing alcohol use, mitigating adherence issues, and achieving optimal prevention and treatment responses for people living with HIV/AIDS.
