Frequency of cannabis use and medical cannabis use among persons living with HIV in the United States: Findings from a nationally representative sample
AIDS Education and Prevention May 04, 2018
Pacek LR, et al. - In order to assess cannabis use frequency, medical cannabis use, or correlates of use among persons living with HIV (PLWH) in United States nationally representative samples, researchers analyzed data of 626 PLWH from the 2005–2015 National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Younger age, substance use, and binge drinking showed a positive association with non-daily cannabis use. Smoking and depression were noted to be correlated with non-daily and daily use. Medical cannabis use was reported by one-quarter and was more frequently noticed among White, married, and nondrinkers. Findings may assist in differentiating cannabis users based on frequency of use and medical vs recreational use.
