Using Telehealth to Address Alcohol Misuse in HIV Care (NCT04546971)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

In total, 600 heavy drinkers with HIV will be assigned to either (a) a single session of brief counseling on alcohol use or (b) brief counseling plus referral to a telehealth counseling program that includes multiple sessions of counseling by videoconferencing and text messaging support. To understand the effects of the program, participants' alcohol use, HIV outcomes, and health will be assessed over a 2-year period.
