Healthy Living Intervention (HLI)
The Healthy Living Intervention (HLI) is a brief alcohol counseling intervention developed using the Information, Motivation, and Behavioral skills (IMB) model, a framework in which information, motivation, and behavioral skills are key determinants of health behavior. Participants initiating PrEP will be randomized to either HLI or standard of care alcohol counseling.
Standard of Care
Participants who are randomized to the control arm will receive basic alcohol counseling through the Ministry of Health if it is provided as standard of care.
