This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether a brief counseling program called SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment) can help people who are taking PrEP—a medication that prevents HIV infection—reduce harmful drinking and improve their overall health. The researchers believe that addressing both alcohol use and HIV prevention together may help people stay healthier and better protected against HIV.
Many people taking HIV prevention medication also struggle with heavy drinking, which can affect their health and their ability to stay on their medication. This trial exists to see whether a short counseling program can help people reduce drinking and improve their health outcomes.

You would visit the study site at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months, with each visit lasting about 60 to 90 minutes. During these visits, you would complete surveys, answer interview questions, and may meet with a counselor who can help you with drinking. You would also provide samples—blood, urine, stool, saliva, and possibly vaginal samples—so researchers can look at how your gut health is changing over time.
