摘要

Unhealthy alcohol use (UAU) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) disproportionately burden people with HIV (PWH). We aimed to understand barriers and facilitators to the screening and treatment of UAU/AUD through semi-structured interviews with 19 healthcare providers in three HIV clinics. Interviews were coded using a rapid assessment process. Barriers included: (1) mixed use and variable perceived benefit of alcohol screening tools, (2) heterogeneity in perceived benefit of and comfort with AUD pharmacotherapy, (3) perception of alcohol as a lower priority than other substance use disorders and (4) compassion fatigue. Facilitators included: (1) co-located AUD care within HIV clinics (2) clinical champions with experience in alcohol treatment, and (3) Telemedicine as a potential strategy to better engage patients with UAU/AUD. Primary care teams face challenges in screening and offering pharmacotherapy to PWH. Interventions should address beliefs regarding treatment and improve screening for UAU/AUD in HIV care settings.
