We evaluated the efficacy of a brief motivational intervention (MI) counseling in reducing alcohol consumption among persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in Kampala-Uganda. PLWHA attending an outpatient HIV clinic with alcohol disorders identification test-Consumption component (AUDIT-C) score ≥3 points were randomized to either standardized positive prevention counseling alone or in combination with alcohol brief MI counseling. Mean change in AUDIT-C scores over 6 months were compared by treatment arm. The mean (SD) AUDIT-C scores were 6.3(2.3) and 6.8(2.3), for control and MI arms (p=0.1) at baseline and change in mean AUDIT-C score was not statistically different between the treatment arms over the 6 months follow up time (P=0.8). There was a non-differential reduction in alcohol consumption in both intervention and control arms. Standard positive prevention counseling should be provided to all PLWHA who use alcohol. Studies with more than one counseling session need to be evaluated. Clinical trials.gov trial identifier: NCT01802736.
