NCT ID NCT04920539

First seen Nov 05, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 27 times

Summary

This study looked at how a single dose of THC (the active ingredient in cannabis) changes immune-related genes and proteins in the blood. Researchers compared 56 healthy volunteers—some with HIV, some without—to see if their immune systems responded differently. The goal was to understand THC's effects on the body, not to treat or cure HIV.
