Yes, an HIV patient can die within five years. Many have done it and many will continue to do it. As a matter of fact, if modern drugs did not exist, all HIV patients would probably die within five years. While a cure does not exist, both treatments and techniques to greatly reduce the spread of HIV exist and should be used. A person can take the drugs and live his normal lifespan or he can choose death in a few years.
(In the United States circumcising all males would end heterosexual spread of AIDS. The decision not to do it is political, not medical.)
