NCT06745947
This research study is testing a new behavioral therapy called Episodic Future Thinking or EFT can help people reduce drug use and risky sexual behaviors while helping them adhere to their HIV prevention medication (PrEP). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive standard care, which includes counseling on HIV prevention, drug use reduction, and sexual health. The other group will receive standard care plus a new program called Episodic Future Thinking (EFT), where participants will think about and plan for their future goals using a mobile app and counseling sessions. Study procedures that are not part of regular care include filling out surveys, providing blood, urine, and swab samples for testing, and using the EFT app.
NCT06900634
Hazardous alcohol use, which is common among men in Uganda, is a primary driver of both HIV risk and intimate partner violence (IPV) in this setting. Among men living with HIV, alcohol use is associated with non-adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and a detectable viral load, increasing the risk of onward HIV transmission to partners. This risk is further heightened when the partner is pregnant, due to the potential for vertical transmission. Therefore, addressing factors that interfere with optimal HIV care outcomes among men living with HIV is critical to HIV prevention in pregnant women. The goal of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to pilot test an intervention that combines alcohol reduction and economic strengthening to improve ART adherence. The study will assess implementation outcomes and preliminary efficacy among men living with HIV who engage in hazardous alcohol use and their pregnant partners (n=30 couples). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What are the implementation outcomes (acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility, fidelity, and safety) at the individual, implementer, and organizational levels, and what bridging factors may impede success (e.g., community-academic partnership)? 2. Does the intervention reduce hazardous alcohol use and improve ART adherence among men living with HIV? Researchers will compare the intervention group (n=15 couples) to the standard of care group (n=15 couples) to determine if the intervention leads to behavior change in alcohol use and ART adherence among men living with HIV. Participants will: 1. Men in the intervention group will receive the Amaka intervention, designed to reduce alcohol use and improve ART adherence. 2. Complete assessments on hazardous alcohol use, ART adherence, and implementation outcomes at multiple time points (baseline, 3 and 6 months). 3. Engage with implementers to provide post-implementation feedback on feasibility and acceptability.
