Behavioral Interventions Targeting Alcohol Use Among People Living with HIV/AIDS: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
AIDS and Behavior, 2017Co-Authors: Lori A. J. Scott-sheldon, Kate B. Carey, Blair T. Johnson, Michael P. CareyAbstract:El consumo de alcohol se reporta a menudo entre las personas que viven con el VIH/SIDA (PVVS) y se asocia con un mayor riesgo sexual y mala adherencia a los medicamentos. Este metanálisis evaluó la eficacia de las intervenciones conductuales dirigidas al consumo de alcohol entre las PVVS. Se incluyeron veintiún estudios ( N = 8461 PVVS) que evaluaron una intervención individual dirigida al consumo de alcohol solo o como parte de una intervención más completa de alcohol/VIH, incluyeron una condición de control y estuvieron disponibles hasta diciembre de 2016. Los evaluadores independientes codificaron el estudio, la muestra y el contenido de la intervención. Se calcularon los tamaños del efecto medio ponderado, utilizando modelos de efectos aleatorios. Los resultados indican que las intervenciones redujeron el consumo de alcohol, aumentaron el uso del condón y mejoraron la adherencia a los medicamentos en comparación con los participantes control ( d _+s = 0.10–0.24). La carga viral plasmática también se redujo en la intervención frente a los participantes control ( d _+ = 0.14, 95% CI = 0.02, 0.26; k = 7). Estos hallazgos muestran que las intervenciones conductuales que abordan el consumo de alcohol pueden reducir con éxito el consumo de alcohol y también mejorar los resultados relacionados con el VIH entre PVVS. Alcohol use is often reported among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and is associated with increased sexual risk and poor medication adherence. This meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy of behavioral Interventions addressing alcohol use among PLWHA. Twenty-one studies ( N = 8461 PLWHA) that evaluated an Individual-Level Intervention addressing alcohol use alone or as part of a more comprehensive alcohol/HIV Intervention, included a control condition, and were available through December 2016 were included. Independent raters coded study, sample, and Intervention content. Weighted mean effect sizes, using random-effects models, were calculated. Results indicate that Interventions reduced alcohol consumption, increased condom use, and improved medication adherence relative to controls ( d _+s = 0.10–0.24). Plasma viral load was also reduced in Intervention versus control participants ( d _+ = 0.14, 95% CI = 0.02, 0.26; k = 7). These findings show that behavioral Interventions addressing alcohol use can successfully reduce alcohol consumption and also improve HIV-related outcomes among PLWHA.

HIV/AIDS and injecting drug use: Information, education and communication
International Journal of Drug Policy, 2005Co-Authors: Peter Aggleton, Paul Jenkins, Anne MalcolmAbstract:Abstract Information, education and communication (IEC) has an important role to play in HIV/AIDS prevention and harm reduction among injecting drug users and their sexual partners. This paper reviews what is known about the effects of IEC within this context. It distinguishes between six types of individual level Intervention in which IEC has a role to play (mass reach Interventions, outreach work, harm minimisation, drug cessation/treatment programmes, voluntary and confidential counselling and testing, and risk reduction counselling) and two different styles of structural Intervention (structural and environmental outreach work to tackle the structured vulnerabilities associated with HIV/AIDS). Though the evidence base is weak, evidence relating to IEC's contribution and effects in each of these fields is reviewed. Overall, and by itself, IEC can do little more than raise levels of knowledge, awareness and understanding; however, when combined with other measures, including service provision and a supportive social environment, more positive and sustainable effects can be achieved.
