All uncorrected p values < 0.05 from two-way ANCOVA are shown; the other 11 ROIs not listed showed no HIV or MJ effects. No HIV-by-MJ interaction was found for FA measurement in any of the ROIs. Bold: uncorrected p value < 0.05 for HIV or MJ main effects or their interaction

*p values remained significant after Holm correction for multiple comparisons
