Summary View help for Summary
The Seek, Test, Treat and Retain (STTR) Collaboration Project involved over twenty studies in the fields of HIV and drug abuse. These studies were independently developed, but were chosen for the collaboration because they focused on one or more steps of the HIV treatment cascade: Seek, Test, Treat and Retain. These studies were grouped into Criminal Justice-related studies and Vulnerable Population-related studies. The data collected by these studies included twelve common domains (e.g. demographic characteristics, mental health) in each of which a shared questionnaire or instrument was taken up by the studies and adapted to fit the study. This repository contains the collected data and documentation from the STTR collaboration.
This study in particular, assesses outcomes of Oral Naltrexone on HIV Treatment among HIV-1 infected men in Lima, Peru. A randomized blinded placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted to determine if oral naltrexone (NTX) would improve the likelihood that HIV-infected participants with alcohol use disorders (AUDs) remain engaged in care and become highly adherent to antiretroviral therapy (ART), with acceptable safety.

Study Purpose View help for Study Purpose
The purpose of the study is to determine if oral NTX will improve the likelihood that HIV-1 infected participants with alcohol use disorders will achieve viral suppression (VL less than 400) and maximal viral suppression (VL less than 50) at 24 weeks.
Study Design View help for Study Design
This is a Phase IV randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of the efficacy of treating AUDs using oral NTX daily for 6 months to newly diagnosed HIV-1 infected MSM and transgender women with no previous experience to ART in Lima, Peru. This is a study that plans to enroll 159 diagnosed HIV seropositive MSM and transgender women who will be started on antiretroviral therapy and randomized 2:1 to receive either oral NTX (N=106) or a placebo (N=53), in addition to standard medical management counseling for the reduction of alcohol consumption.
Sample View help for Sample
The sample was compiled based on the following protocol:
Participants who test HIV positive (as part of the SABES study) and have a score of 8 or more on the AUDIT questionnaire are referred to IMPACTA for screening for AHORA-L. Participants may also be referred from other sources and complete the AUDIT questionnaire at IMPACTA. All MSM and transgender women with chronic HIV infection, who report having had 5 or more drinks in a single day in the past month, are referred to IMPACTA's Clinical Research Sites for screening for AUDs and potential participation in this study. All diagnosed HIV-1 infected MSM and transgender women receive more robust referral services. This is implemented through a peer navigators system which is supported by conditional cash transfers, providing transportation, increased hours of service provision at the Barranco and San Miguel Clinical Research Sites, etc.
