Abstract Drug use, hazardous alcohol use, and mental health disorders are prevalent among people with HIV and HCV infection. Co-occurrence of alcohol use and depression negatively impacts substance use patterns. Nevertheless, HCV treatment provides a promising opportunity to identify and address co-occurring drug use, hazardous alcohol use, and mental health disorders.

We assessed the prevalence of isoniazid preventive therapy (IPT) uptake and explored factors associated with IPT non-uptake among people living with HIV (PLHIV) using nationally representative data from the Zimbabwe Population-based HIV Impact Assessment (ZIMPHIA) 2015–2016. This was a cross-sectional study of 3418 PLHIV ZIMPHIA participants eligible for IPT, aged ≥15 years and in HIV care. Logistic regression modeling was performed to assess factors associated with self-reported IPT uptake. All analyses accounted for multistage survey design. IPT uptake among PLHIV was 12.7% (95% confidence interval (CI): 11.4–14.1). After adjusting for sex, age, rural/urban residence, TB screening at the last clinic visit, and hazardous alcohol use, rural residence was the strongest factor associated with IPT non-uptake (adjusted OR (aOR): 2.39, 95% CI: 1.82–3.12). Isoniazid preventive therapy non-uptake having significant associations with no TB screening at the last HIV care (aOR: 2.07, 95% CI: 1.54–2.78) and with hazardous alcohol use only in urban areas (aOR: 10.74, 95% CI: 3.60–32.0) might suggest suboptimal IPT eligibility screening regardless of residence, but more so in rural areas. Self-reported IPT use among PLHIV in Zimbabwe was low, 2 years after beginning national scale-up. This shows the importance of good TB screening procedures for successful IPT implementation.

Abstract Background Alcohol use is known to have higher prevalence among HIV infected individuals. Hazardous use of alcohol in many studies is negatively associated with the adherence to antiretroviral therapy. Use of alcohol and ART adherence among PLHIV is inadequately explored in Nepalese context. This study aimed at identifying the level of alcohol use and its relationship with adherence to ART among PLHIV. Methods A total of 205 PLHIV of age 18 years or more were randomly selected at a national ART centre of Nepal. Self-reported adherence questionnaire was used to get the level of adherence, Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT) with five questions was adopted for screening the hazardous alcohol use. Those who took more than 95% of the prescribed doses were considered as adherent. Results About 86% of the respondents were adherent to ART in four days recall. About one third of the respondents were alcohol user and 40% of them had hazardous use of alcohol. Those having hazardous use of alcohol were four times (AOR=4.60, 95% CI 1.27,16.62) more likely to be non-adherent as compared to those who had not hazardous use of alcohol. Multivariate analyses adjusted ethnicity, Knowledge on dangers of non-adherence, subjective feeling of own health, use of memory aid, IDU background, treatment substitution and depression category. Conclusion Hazardous use of alcohol was independently associated with non-adherence with the ART. Key message Screening at the start of the treatment and intervention targeting alcohol use may improve HIV outcomes in individuals with hazardous alcohol use.
