Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether two brief counseling sessions reduce drinking and improve health outcomes in HIV-positive women who drink at heavy/hazardous levels. Also, the study seeks to compare hazardous drinking versus nonhazardous drinking women on a variety of alcohol, HIV and life quality outcome measures.

Conditions

  • HIV Infections
  • Alcoholism

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Brief alcohol intervention based on Project Treat

The brief intervention will include two sessions that review drinking patterns and behavior change strategies as well as two telephone calls to reinforce session content.

BEHAVIORAL

Standard care

Hazardous/binge female drinkers will be identified in the Johns Hopkins Hospital HIV clinic and will be randomized to brief intervention or standard care. Outcome measures will include: alcohol/drug use, engagement in an on-site alcohol support group and other substance abuse treatment services, HIV-risk behaviors, HIV disease markers and treatment compliance, and psychiatric symptoms.
