| Response from Mr. Shernoff
 His being on antiretroviral medication is one important part of his treatment. Has he recived a complete neurological examination including brain scans to try and determine if there is any other reason for his dementia? He needs to have a neurologist as well as a psychiatrist and infectious disese specialist all coordinating their efforts to try and diagnose why he is experiencing dementia. Michael Shernoff, MSW | ||||||||
