| Response from Dr. Henry
 Recovery from stroke is highly variable in the general population dependent on how fast treatment is started, the type of stroke, the location of the blood flow occlusion or bleed, and the underlying health of the patient. The same variability applies to HIV+ persons who can recover fully in some cases but often are left with some level of neurologic deficit. KH | ||||||||
