HIV, Cannabis Use, and Macrophage Phenotype

Explore the complex interactions between HIV infection, cannabis use, and macrophage cellular responses in this research seminar presented by Dr. Jerel Adam Fields from Johns Hopkins Medicine. Examine how cannabis consumption affects macrophage phenotype in the context of HIV infection, delving into the immunological mechanisms and cellular changes that occur when these factors intersect. Learn about current research findings on how cannabis may influence immune cell behavior in HIV-positive individuals, including potential therapeutic implications and the broader impact on neurological health. Gain insights into cutting-edge research methodologies used to study these interactions and understand the clinical significance of macrophage phenotype changes in HIV patients who use cannabis.
