Abstract
Schneider et al. devote their editorial to the under-recognized association between alcohol consumption/hazardous drinking and HIV prevention or HIV outcomes. They also highlight the missed opportunities for combined prevention and co-treatment of HIV and alcohol-related problem, especially in countries where this association is striking. Despite the ever-increasing body of evidence showing connections between excessive drinking and both HIV-related risky sexual behaviors and HIV treatment adherence, these connections have not been taken into account in major public health policy and HIV prevention plans.
