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

My brother-in-law died at age 8. He had been diagnosed with leukemia 3 years earlier, but he died of pneumonia. It's just the way it is.

By the way, he died long before I met my husband. Kids now have a much better shot than they did in the early 70's.

I realize that, but from a purely medical standpoint, 99.9% of all deaths are from the heart stopping too. That doesn't mean something didn't CAUSE the heart to stop.
