Summary

Background:

Data are scarce concerning injecting drug use (IDU) and alcohol consumption among HIV-infected people on highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) in Cameroon. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of alcohol consumption and IDU among HIV-infected people on HAART; to determine sociodemographic factors associated with alcohol abuse and IDU among people on HAART; and to determine impact of alcohol consumption and IDU on adherence to HAART.

Methods/Design:

The investigators will conduct a cross sectional study at the Yaoundé Central Hospital in Cameroon, from February to August 2015. Using a self-report questionnaire, the investigators will include at least 1,000 HIV-infected adults (18 years or more) on HAART for at least one month coming for HIV care. The investigators will exclude pregnant women. Data collection will include sociodemographic and economic profile, alcohol consumption using Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, injecting drug use, adherence to HAART using visual analog scale and self-rate report. The investigators will perform sub-analysis for sex group and area of habitation. A p value \< 0.05 will be considered statistically significant.

Discussion:

There is a critical need of accurate estimates of the amplitude and the distribution of IDU and alcohol consumption among HIV-infected adults, in order to inform health policies maker for curbing burden of both injecting drug use and alcohol consumption among people living with HIV.
