dc.description.abstractHazardous alcohol use and psychological distress are common among persons living with HIV (PLWH). In Uganda, HIV prevalence is 6.2% with average pure alcohol consumption per capita of 9.8 liters. Social support may mitigate hazardous alcohol use. In a cohort of 443 PLWH, we measured social support using the Duke - UNC functional social support scale and self-reported alcohol consumption using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test – Consumption (AUDIT-C), augmented by phosphatidylethanol (PEth). We examined the association between low social support and hazardous alcohol use using multiple logistic regression models. 30% had low social support and 44% had hazardous alcohol use (AUDIT-C ≥3 for women and ≥4 for men and/or PEth ≥50 ng/mL). We did not detect an association between low social support and hazardous alcohol use. Social support may play no role or a minimal role in preventing PLWH from hazardous alcohol use.en_US
