Research Report: Marijuana could slow HIV
Return
Back To OnlinePot's Main Medical Page
A study documented today in the June issue of the journal AIDS Research and
Human Retroviruses (http://www.lieberto
nline.com/ doi/abs/10. 1089/aid. 2010.0218) concludes that THC, the active
ingredient in marijuana may slow the spread of simian immunodeficiency (SIV) in
monkeys. SIV is essentially the simian version of HIV.
From POZ.com (http://www.poz.
com/rssredir/ articles/ hiv_marijuana_ thc_761_20533. shtml):
Monkeys infected with simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) that were given
chronic doses of the active ingredient in marijuana appeared to have slower SIV
disease progression than monkeys
given a placebo. These results, published in the June edition of the journal
AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses, aren’t proof that marijuana will slow
human HIV progression, but they do indicate that the drug does not increase
disease progression, as had been feared by some.
Many people with HIV turned to marijuana in the early days of the epidemic to
combat wasting disease and to treat nausea and chronic pain. An early, but short
study in people with HIV indicated that marijuana did increase appetite in
people with wasting and appeared to be generally safe. What’s more, the
synthetic marijuana alternative, Marinol, was tested more intensively and was
found to be fairly safe and effective for pain relief, nausea and low appetite.
Still, concerns have lingered about whether marijuana is safe during the
long-term.
Rather than showing evidence that chronic THC might hasten SIV disease
progression—as the authors originally hypothesized—LaMotte’s team found
that the opposite was true: Daily THC use actually showed evidence of slower
disease progression.
Specifically, the monkeys who received THC tended to have lower viral loads,
improvements in the ratio of CD4 to CD8 cells, increases in SIV-specific CD8
responses and lower inflammation than monkeys who received a placebo. Even more
impressive, monkeys that were given THC were much slower to die than monkeys
given the placebo.
