Description
Michaela E Larson and co-authors compared blood immune markers and memory scores in 2026 among 238 adults in Durham, grouped by HIV status and regular marijuana use. Data were gathered from 2021 to 2023, when HIV treatment already controlled the virus in those infected.
Seven markers gave usable models. Adults without HIV who used marijuana had lower levels of one signalling protein, while untreated-looking inflammation was broadest in adults with HIV who did not use marijuana. Among adults with HIV, use did not clearly lower marker levels. Worse memory tracked modestly with higher tumour necrosis factor related markers, regardless of marijuana findings.
