Answers:
Literally.? No you cannot die from HIV or AIDS, You pretty much have it correct. When you're diagnosed with AIDs your immune system is failing. When you "Die of AIDs" you can die of a common cold because your body can't fight the virus or bacteria off.Health Question & Answer
HIV/AIDS in its more advanced stages can cause your body to turn on itself. The body starts wasting, or just not maintaining a healthy weight, different cancers crop up and are incurable, etc. Most often, a person will die of a secondary infection that a normal person should be able to fight off. A simple cold can turn into pneumonia, which can be fatal. HIV/AIDS is much more treatable now in the more advanced countries where medical care is readily available. It can almost be viewed as a chronic condition, as compared to just ten years ago where it was a death sentence. You still can die from it, and eventually will, but it takes much longer now than it used to. Health Question & Answer
hiv doesn't kill you. it allows for your environment to kill you, it suppresses your immune system so you cant fight of every day bugs. if you research you will find that most HIV/Aids victims die of infections that healthy people would not die of.

No, you cannot die from HIV or AIDS - as you said, they simply decrease the effectiveness of your immune system (through various ways) so you will be more susceptible to death through contracting illnesses.Health Question & Answer
