Actual (reported)The purpose of the study is to find out if a medication,naltrexone is helpful for HIV-infected women who sometimes drink too much. The study will try to find out whether women like the medication, whether the medication helps them cut back on their drinking, and whether it helps improve their overall health. Naltrexone has not been used widely among people who are engaged in less severe drinking and in primary health care settings. Therefore, the investigators would like to determine whether it is helpful among women who sometimes drink 4 or more drinks per occasion or 7 or more drinks per week. The investigators hypothesize that by taking naltrexone, women with hazardous drinking pattern will reduce their drinking which in turn will improve their medication adherence, improve their health and quality of life.

Placebo: One third of the participants will receive placebo pills that look the same as the active comparator but are really just inert pills. Each study participant will take a single pill once a day for 4 months.
Naltrexone: Two thirds of the total study participants will receive the medication naltrexone. Each study participant will take a single pill once a day for 4 months.

Sample size was very small, and 3 participants did not return for any follow-up visits; 15 completed through the Month 4 assessment, and 12 completed through Month 7. Therefore, our ability to draw conclusions based on this sample is limited.
