Hi. I smoke marijuana and I’m taking ART . So is it safe to smoke marijuana immediately after taking ART ?
Answer
Hi there
If you like smoking, then please don’t worry.
There are no interactions with HIV meds.
In terms of adherence, you just need to make sure you don’t forget to take your meds. Being an hour or two early or late though is okay.
Also, as with smoking tobacco, marijuana can increase the risk of other health complications, though I know you didn’t ask directly about this.
