Summary

The main aim of this study is to test an intervention to reduce unsafe drinking among HIV-positive primary care patients. The intervention consists of a brief motivational interview, which is combined with daily alcohol monitoring through the use of an interactive voice response system IVR (automated telephone system). Subjects who receive the enhanced motivational interview are expected to show greater improvements in drinking than individuals who receive the standard motivational interview or view a DVD on HIV self-care.
