Scientists test if cannabis helps or hurts HIV brain function

NCT ID NCT04883255

Summary

This study aims to understand how two main cannabis compounds, THC and CBD, affect thinking skills like decision-making, attention, and motivation in people living with HIV. Researchers will compare 138 participants with and without HIV who don't use cannabis often, giving them a 5-day course of either THC, CBD, or a placebo pill. The goal is to see how these compounds change brain chemicals and cognitive performance to clarify if cannabis use helps or harms brain function in HIV.
