Abstract Introduction There have been very few randomized clinical trials of interventions for alcohol use disorders (AUD) in people living with HIV (PLWH) African countries. This is despite the fact that one modifiable risk factors poor virological control PLWH on antiretroviral therapy. Methods Sixteen clinic clusters Zimbabwe were selected through stratified randomization and 1: 1 to Intervention Control arms. Inclusion criteria individual participants being adult, a probable disorder as...

Over 80% birds had pancreatic characterised by fibrosis, while 75% thin, dilated mucus-filled intestines associated villi sloughing cellular infiltration duodenum goblet cell hyperplasia jejunum. The severity stunting intestinal...
