It's 2016 now, and I'm taking PEP(post exposure prophylaxis) medications. Is it wise or ok to smoke or ingest marijuana?

I noticed a lot of high numbers. I'm still new to diagnosis. In July 2014, my CD4 921, VL 225. Then test again in February CD4 837 VL818. I've been unmedicated, but I am being monitored. I have never been a drug user, and have been in a monogamous relationship since 2006. I am a heavy medical marijuana smoker and constantly use edibles thru out the day. A lot of unanswered questions about how I was infected. Coupled with odd reactions I've gotten from doctors who see my labs.Needanswers

I was diagnosed with HIV about a year ago I have had such improvements with my counts that I only need to see my doctor twice a yr instead of every six months I will be sure to mention this study to him!!! He approved of my smoking of marijuana. I didn't think it effected my amazing results I seen every 3 months!! Hopefully they can use these results and maybe one day find a cure!!!

I've smoked pot and ,I know pot helps patient with nausea and appetite. So in my opinion pot is very medicinal and has good properties. In all honesty,I would love to find a marijuana study, this is long do. We spend lots of money buying pot. I think the time has come.
