Identifying factors associated with alcohol use changes during pregnancy is important for developing interventions for people with HIV (PWH). Pregnant PWH (n=202) initiating antiretroviral therapy in Uganda and South Africa completed two assessments, 6 months apart (T1, T2). Categories were derived based on AUDIT-C scores: “no use” (AUDIT-C=0 at T1 and T2), “new use” (AUDIT-C=0 at T1, >0 at T2), “quit” (AUDIT-C > 0 at T1, =0 at T2), and “continued use” (AUDIT-C> 0, T1 and T2). Factors associated with these categories were assessed. Most participants had “no use” (68%), followed by “continued use” (12%), “quit” (11%), and “new use” (9%). Cohabitating with a partner was associated with lower relative risk of “continued use.” Borderline significant associations between food insecurity and higher risk of “new use” and between stigma and reduced likelihood of “quitting” also emerged. Alcohol use interventions that address partnership, food security, and stigma could benefit pregnant and postpartum PWH.
