HIV destroys the Immune system causing a person to develop AIDS. People with AIDS have a very weak Immune system that allows infections to enter the body with little to no resistance. Its these infections that kill a person. 26 infections are "AIDS defining" and include 2 cancers,thrush and Pneumonia as examples. So HIV does not kill but it is the cause of AIDS which can.

How does a virus kill you?

A virus can kill a person by invading and replicating within host cells, disrupting normal cellular functions. This can lead to cell death, tissue damage, and systemic inflammation. In severe cases, the immune response may become overactive, causing further harm to the body, or the virus may directly target critical organs, such as the lungs or liver, leading to organ failure. Ultimately, the severity of the disease and the individual's health status play significant roles in the outcome.
