Note that HIV is not usually noted as a major cause of death - which is a bit misleading. HIV is noted stated as the cause of death since it does not kill the patient, but rather weakens the immune system, allowing other diseases to affect and eventually kill the patient. The disease that the patient dies from is then noted as the cause of death.
It cannot be ignored that HIV is a contributory factor in many deaths as it lowers immune responses allowing other diseases to kill.
