Madhombiro M, et al. - Researchers sought to ascertain patients’ perceptions of the impact of alcohol use in the context of HIV care. They identified that people living with HIV have adequate knowledge of the effects of alcohol use in the context of HIV treatment. The main barriers to uptake included stigma and the time taken to engage in an alcohol use intervention. The current model of HIV treatment, based on trust with the HIV care team, and maintenance of this trust, could reinforce the uptake of an intervention. To improve treatment outcomes in the context of alcohol use, involvement of HIV patients in their treatment is essential.
