HIV won't kill you. It weakens your immune system so other diseases kill you.

"I didn't kill you. I put an ax in your ribcage so that the bloodloss would kill you"

/s, but only kinda. Whether HIV kills directly or indirectly, at the end of the day the host is still dead and poor HIV has nowhere to live 🥺
