Assessing Inflammatory Biomarkers at the Intersection of Marijuana and PrEP Use: Preliminary Findings From the NCHAT-BIO Study
The current preliminary data suggest inflammation is reduced among PrEP users who also use marijuana, but the same is not true among non-PrEP users. These findings may suggest that PrEP increases inflammation that is then partially mitigated by the individual cannabinoids or cannabidiols found in marijuana, although more research is needed to confirm this hypothesis.
