This study will recruit 152 HIV-infected men with alcohol use disorders (AUDs). Men will be randomized to receive either extended release-naltrexone for the treatment of alcohol use disorder or placebo. Men with acute, recent or established HIV infection will receive antiretroviral treatment (ART) and be randomized to extended release-naltrexone or placebo. The purpose of this study is to see whether use of extended release-naltrexone improves medication compliance, and therefore HIV viral load suppression, among men with alcohol use disorder. The study will also assess the impact of extended release-naltrexone on alcohol use behaviors in this population.
