Control arm
Participants randomized to the control arm received brief advice on the harmful effects of alcohol and safe levels of drinking at the baseline visit in line with the country standard of care, viral load feedback and adherence counselling at their post‐baseline regular clinic visit, and an invitation to receive the intervention counselling and materials after 48 weeks.Participants in both study arms had access to a toll‐free hotline to reach study staff with questions or problems during the study.
