This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a special coaching program can help HIV clinics better deliver treatment for unhealthy alcohol use. The treatment itself is flexible—depending on how much you drink, you might receive brief counseling, therapy, or medication to help reduce drinking. The coaches work with clinic staff to make sure these treatments are easy to access and work well for patients.
Heavy drinking can make it harder to take HIV medications regularly and keep the virus under control. Right now, many HIV clinics don't consistently offer alcohol treatment, even though it's available and proven to help. This trial wants to see if coaching clinic staff can change that and help more patients get the support they need.

If you qualify, clinic staff will help you choose the right level of treatment based on your drinking. You might receive a brief counseling session, ongoing therapy, medication to help reduce cravings, or a combination of these—all delivered at your HIV clinic. The clinic coaches work behind the scenes to make sure staff are trained and ready to help you; your main involvement is attending your regular appointments and participating in whichever treatment option fits your needs best.
