University of Florida received a 3.2 million dollar grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse in 2017 to conduct a 5-year study on the effects of cannabis on HIV.
It will be the biggest and the most comprehensive research on this topic to date, and it will include 400 HIV patients from Florida.
Head researcher Robert Cook (MD, MPH), shared his views on the goals of the study:
I’ve seen some very interesting data that looked at just how much of the virus is in people’s blood before they were treated with antiretrovirals.
The research showed that those who used marijuana had a lower amount of the virus in their blood compared to those who didn’t use marijuana.
That’s a good thing if there is a lower amount of the virus.
But I haven’t seen any clinical trials looking at the direct effects of THC on the virus.
We also don’t have a lot research comparing THC alone versus THC and CBD on people with HIV. This study will surely provide the much-needed insight for HIV-infected patients.”
MYDX CannaDX being utilized helping make this “the most comprehensive” HIV study as well as the largest. Sure having the most comprehensive is great but it’s also the largest and without MYDX CannaDX being utilized, no other study can claim to be as comprehensive. Looking forward to reading full status update on year one moving into year twoy
Also, through.follow-up articles, we.know.MYDX/UofF study is progressing.positively. As someone who has researched, I trust your assessment.
