Improving alcohol-related gut and brain health in people with HIV
Administrative Core: Interventions to improve alcohol-related comorbidities along the gut-brain axis in persons with HIV infection
This program works to develop and coordinate interventions to reduce alcohol-related gut and brain health problems for people living with HIV.

What this research studies
This Administrative Core organizes and supports two linked research projects focused on alcohol-related gut-brain problems in people with HIV. It provides centralized leadership, harmonizes measures so data can be combined, and connects the work to an existing Southern HIV Alcohol Research Consortium. The Core manages recruitment, data collection, safety monitoring, quality control, and storage of biological samples. It also coordinates training, community engagement, and oversight through a leadership committee and community advisory board.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Adults living with HIV who drink alcohol and have or are at risk for alcohol-related gut, liver, or brain-related health issues would be the most relevant candidates.
Not a fit: People without HIV, those who do not consume alcohol, or those with unrelated health conditions are unlikely to benefit directly from these projects.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could lead to better ways to prevent or treat alcohol-related gut and brain problems in people living with HIV.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has linked alcohol use, gut changes, and brain outcomes in HIV, but coordinated intervention efforts across multiple projects are relatively new.
