    I understand the comic is meant to show an HIV positive super hero, but it seems to me since she is a close associate to the Green Arrow, who is familiar with Ra's Al Ghul why doesnt she seek out a Lazarus Pitt and get cured?

    Also it's interesting that she is a physical super hero (her super powers and skills are directly related to her strength and speed) and yet she has HIV which results in reduced strength and physical recovery from wounds. It would make more sense to me having an HIV character who's super hero abilities are non physical related such as the Green Lantern or Professor X from Marvel. Professor X being the better example as he is disabled but has mental telekinesis powers which do not conflict with his disabilities.

    she doesnt seek out the lazarus pit because it caused the person who bathes in it to go crazy thats why ra's al ghul is looking for different ways.and i do agree with you about the fact that a hiv positive character shouldnt rely on her physicality
