First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at how a single dose of methamphetamine affects the HIV virus in people who are already on effective HIV treatment. Fourteen HIV-positive adults with no history of meth use took part. The goal was to see if meth causes the virus to become more active and increase inflammation, which could help find new ways to target hidden HIV.
