Catbert, I was to reply to this post but Scottsie pretty much summed up what I was going to state. I too know people who have either died of complications of AIDS or are living with HIV and are doing very well because of the medicinal regimen they're on and their decided effort to live as healthily as they can.
You exhibited ignorance with that statement. Many antiretroviral drugs and other drugs related to combatting AIDS are not much different from other kinds of medicines to treat various kinds of illnesses - overdosing on them or allergic reactions to them or other factors can contribute to nasty reactions or even death from people taking them. They're not that different, really, from medicines like Vioxx or Ambien. There can be weird side effects, but that's the nature of many drugs. You have to take into account many logistical details before deciding whether to suggest this or that killed the person.
