There is a scarcity of research on drug use patterns among HIV-positive young individuals in Sub-Saharan Africa (YLWH). To fill the gap, the following was set out:

No México, o uso de álcool tem aumentado constantemente entre os jovens na última década, levando a uma investigação sobre a ligação entre a percepção de disponibilidade de álcool, o consumo episódico pesado e os danos relacionados ao álcool entre jovens...
