Compared to previous studies, age at stroke onset was one of the highest, supporting the hypothesis that as antiretroviral therapy increases the life expectancy of people living with HIV/AIDS, they will be increasingly affected by cardiovascular disease. Human immunodeficiency virus-related cerebral vasculitis was associated with high mortality (75%).
