Summary

This trial will study the effects of cannabis use and HIV on the brain and inflammation. Participants will be given the same treatment in a different order over 6 weeks to monitor safety and measure the effects of the drug.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 21-60 who have used THC-containing cannabis at least once in the past 5 years without severe side effects and have low or no cannabis use recently. HIV-positive participants must be virally suppressed, on stable ART with a 'normal' CD4 count, and able to follow the study schedule. Exclusions include significant cognitive impairment, compromised liver/kidney function, allergies to study drugs, heavy substance use (except cannabis), pregnancy/lactation without contraception, certain chronic diseases like diabetes requiring insulin or uncontrolled psychiatric disorders.
What is being tested?
The trial studies how Cannabidiol (CBD) and Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) affect the brain's microbiome and inflammation in people with HIV. Participants will receive both treatments over about 6 weeks but in different orders. They'll undergo physical exams, blood tests, and other procedures to monitor safety and measure drug effects.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of CBD/THC may include altered mental state or mood changes; digestive issues such as nausea; fatigue; changes in appetite; dry mouth; potential elevation of liver enzymes which could indicate liver irritation.
