“…Those with affirmative responses reported the frequency with which they consumed at least five (women) or six (men) alcoholic beverages in one sitting (never, less than monthly, monthly, weekly, daily, or almost daily). Aligned with prior research ( Crane et al, 2021 ), we dichotomized responses to indicate 0 = no binge drinking and 1 = any binge drinking.…”

“…The overall prevalence range for AU was 7.8–80.2%, for smoking 11.7–80.8%, and for DU 4.5–76.5%. In the United States, 27% of PLWH have AU, 33.6% smoke tobacco, and 36% report DU, with the most frequently used being marijuana, methamphetamines, and cocaine/crack [ 152 , 153 , 154 ]. The estimated average 1-year prevalence of AUD among PLWH in Africa was 20.03%, ranging from 16.6% in Uganda to 28.8% in South Africa [ 155 ].…”

This scoping review aims to explore the interplay between substance use (SU) and HIV in Latin America (LA). Database searches yielded 3481 references; 196 were included. HIV prevalence among people who used substances (PWUS) ranged from 2.8–15.2%. SU definitions were variable throughout studies, and thus data were not easily comparable. In 2019, only 2% of new HIV infections were attributed to injection drug use (IDU) in LA. Factors associated with HIV among PWUS included being female, IDU and homelessness, and PWUS were likely to engage in risky sexual behaviors, start antiretroviral treatment late, have poor adherence, have treatment failure, be lost to follow-up, have comorbidities, and experience higher mortality rates and lower quality of life, as has been reported in PLWH with SU in other regions. Five intervention studies were identified, and only one was effective at reducing HIV incidence in PWUS. Interventions in other regions have varying success depending on context-specific characteristics, highlighting the need to conduct more research in the LA region. Though progress has been made in establishing SU as a major concern in people living with HIV (PLWH), much more is yet to be done to reduce the burden of HIV and SU in LA.

“…To quantify non-medical opioid use at the clinic level, we determined how many patients reported non-medical opioid use or were identified by providers as having non-medical use. We identified patient report using the ASSIST patient reported outcome assessment, which is conducted on all patients as part of usual care at our clinic every 4–6 months ( Crane et al, 2021 ). We queried provider documentation in the patient’s problem list.…”
