HIV Research-2003 Sep

In 2003, Short-Term Effects of Cannabinoids in Patients with HIV-1 Infection: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial BACKGROUND: Cannabinoid use could potentially alter HIV RNA levels by two mechanisms: immune modulation or cannabinoid–protease inhibitor interactions (because both share cytochrome P-450 metabolic pathways) You can read the full article here => https://www.researchgate.net/publication/10574358_Short-Term_Effects_of_Cannabinoids_in_Patients_with_HIV-1_Infection_A_Randomized_Placebo-Controlled_Clinical_Trial

HIV Research-2005 Apr

In 2005, Cannabis Use in HIV for Pain and Other Medical Symptoms. HIV-positive individuals attending a large clinic were recruited into an anonymous cross-sectional questionnaire study.
