Food insecurity (FI) is a documented problem associated with adverse health outcomes among HIV-infected populations. Little is known about the relationship between alcohol use and FI. We assessed whether heavy alcohol use was associated with FI among HIV-infected, antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naïve cohorts in Uganda and Russia. Inverse probability of treatment weighted logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association using cross-sectional baseline data. FI was experienced by half of the Russia cohort (52 %) and by a large majority of the Uganda cohort (84 %). We did not detect an association between heavy alcohol use and FI in either cohort (Russia: AOR = 0.80, 95 % CI 0.46, 1.40; Uganda: AOR = 1.00, 95 % CI 0.57, 1.74) or based on the overall combined estimate (AOR = 0.89, 95 % CI 0.60, 1.33). Future studies should explore the determinants of FI in HIV-infected populations to inform strategies for its mitigation.
粮食不安全（FI）是一个有文献记载的问题，与艾滋病毒感染人群的不良健康结果相关。关于饮酒与粮食不安全之间的关系，人们知之甚少。我们评估了在乌干达和俄罗斯未接受抗逆转录病毒治疗（ART）的艾滋病毒感染队列中，大量饮酒是否与粮食不安全有关。使用逆概率加权逻辑回归模型，利用横断面基线数据评估这种关联。俄罗斯队列中有一半（52%）经历了粮食不安全，乌干达队列中的绝大多数（84%）也经历了粮食不安全。在这两个队列中，我们均未发现大量饮酒与粮食不安全之间存在关联（俄罗斯：调整后的比值比[AOR]=0.80，95%置信区间[CI]为0.46至1.40；乌干达：AOR=1.00，95%CI为0.57至1.74），基于总体合并估计值也未发现关联（AOR=0.89，95%CI为0.60至1.33）。未来的研究应探索艾滋病毒感染人群中粮食不安全的决定因素，为减轻粮食不安全的策略提供依据。
