To determine the impact of self-reported marijuana use on the components of successful aging of human immunodeficiency virus-infected persons. Cross-sectional study of 45- to 65-year-old HIV-infected subjects on anti-retroviral therapy >6 months with undetectable HIV-1 viral load. Successful aging was defined as absence of disease; adequate physical function; high Quality of Life (QOL) and social engagement. Clinical characteristics, physical function assessments, and QOL from short-form 36 (SF-36) were compared between groups defined by self-reported Recent Marijuana Use (RMU), adjusted for tobacco use, CD4+ T-cell count and time since HIV diagnosis, using logistic or linear regression for binary or continuous measures. 93 of 359 total subjects (26%) reported RMU. Demographically, patients reporting RMU had been diagnosed with HIV less recently (14 [13–16] vs 11 [10–12] years), reported smoking (48% vs 25%) and lower income (92% vs 80%) with greater prevalence than non-RMU patients; other demographics and clinical characteristics (age, CD4+ T-cell count) were similar. Gender, race/ethnicity, physical outcomes, physical function and disease burden were not significantly different. Patients reporting RMU demonstrated lower mental QOL and increased odds of low social engagement and un- or underemployment compared to non-users. The negative association between RMU and mental or social QOL should be considered when assessing the success with which HIV patients reporting RMU are aging.
