“…Regular cannabis use correlates with reduced steatosis, mortality, and insulin resistance in co-infected individuals [ 86 , 87 , 88 ] and is not associated with progression of liver fibrosis [ 89 ]. Importantly, cannabis use showed no observable effect on HIV RNA, viral load, or the circulating CD4 + cell count in HIV/HCV co-infection [ 90 , 91 ], suggesting that the protective effect of cannabinoids in this context is not mediated by altered HIV replication. Supporting the role of cannabinoids as modifiers of HIV/HCV pathology, a variant of cannabinoid receptor 2, 63 RR, is associated with more severe necroinflammation in co-infected individuals [ 92 ].…”

“…Some individuals receiving therapy for HCV may bene t virologically and symptomatically from modest cannabis use by helping them stick to the di cult medication regimen 23,24 . Faster decay of HIV RNA among cannabis users who were HCV co-infected and reduced risk of steatosis was observed 25,26 . The advantages of using cannabis for treating HCV from a biological and clinical standpoint, as well as the e cacy of this treatment, should be investigated in bigger study populations.…”
