PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: One year

Population: data were analyzed intention to treat where all observations were included in the analyses, including those only measured at baseline.

The intent of this outcome is to compare the efficacy of NTX +MM/MC versus placebo +MM/MC on adherence to HAART. It is hypothesized that NTX +MM/MC will lead to improved adherence to HAART when compared to placebo + MM/MC.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: One year

Population: data were analyzed intention to treat where all observations were included in the analyses, including those only measured at baseline.

This outcome is intended to compare the efficacy of NTX +MM/MC versus placebo +MM/MC in reducing days of heavy drinking. It is hypothesized that NTX +MM/MC will lead to greater reductions in the number of days of heavy drinking when compared to placebo + MM/MC.
