Study Background

In this research study, we want to learn more about how alcohol use and relationship conflict impact the health of men living with HIV who have sex with men.

This study aims to examine how alcohol use, conflict with a partner, as well as other factors, impact HIV medication adherence with a combination of a baseline interview (lasting approximately 90 minutes) and 60 consecutive days of short assessments (approximately 5 minutes long). The information collected will inform future efforts to develop interventions to improve HIV treatment outcomes.

Compensation is provided for completing the baseline interview and each daily assessment.
