Co-use of cigarettes and cannabis among people with HIV: Results from a randomized controlled smoking cessation trial.

ABSTRACT:

Significance

People with HIV (PWH) who smoke cigarettes have lower cessation rates than the general population. This study investigated whether changes in cannabis use frequency impedes cigarette cessation among PWH who are motivated to quit.

Methods

Between 2016-2020, PWH who smoked cigarettes were enrolled in a randomized controlled trial for cigarette cessation. Analyses were limited to PWH who reported on their past 30-day (P30D) cannabis use during four study visits (baseline, 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month) (N=374). Descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression were used to evaluate changes in cannabis use frequency from baseline to 6 months and associations with cigarette abstinence at 6 months among PWH who reported no use during all four visits (n=176)
