Abstract
HIV providers reported high rates of screening for alcohol use, though few used a formal screening tool. Most providers referred alcohol dependent patients to outside resources for treatment. Few reported prescribing alcohol pharmacotherapy. Increased training on alcohol pharmacotherapy may increase confidence in prescribing and use of these medications in HIV care settings.
