Meningitus after contracting HIV?

Notice how all the people who are gay and die from AIDS never die from AIDS. It's always pnuemonia, viral infection, etc...

From a purely medical standpoint, it ain't the AIDS that kills them.

Re your post 4, I'm no physician but that could be true. I understand, for example, that cancer weakens your immune system to the extent that other things (such as pneumonia) get you.

But I could be wrong. Just throwing that out there.

That's because AIDS prevents the body's immune system from fighting off an opportunistic infection. It's the opportunistic infection that kills the person.
