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 a counseling program called Kisoboka designed for men living with HIV who drink alcohol at unsafe levels and live in fishing communities. The program aims to help you drink less, take your HIV medications consistently as prescribed, and achieve an undetectable viral load (meaning the HIV virus is controlled). Researchers will compare this program to standard counseling and referrals to see which approach works best.
Many men with HIV in fishing communities struggle with heavy drinking, which makes it harder to take HIV medications regularly and stay healthy. This trial exists to test whether a specially designed program that addresses the unique challenges of fishing community life—like social pressure to drink, stress from work, and easy access to alcohol—can help men reduce drinking and stick to their HIV treatment.

You will be randomly assigned to one of four groups, each receiving different types of counseling support. Sessions may include one-on-one counseling, group sessions, or both, and will focus on reducing drinking and improving your HIV medication routine. You can expect to attend between 1 and 6 counseling sessions over 1 to 16 weeks, depending on which group you're in. The program uses conversation-based counseling methods designed to help you feel confident making changes and staying healthy.
