  • After doing my own searching I was able to learn how this death was possible. For those who were just as confused as me, AIDS can become deadly rapidly and suddenly once the immunity threshold is breached and collapses in those with low symptom or symptomless HIV. Basically, his immune system was able to hold back the infections for as long as it could, and when it eventually progressed into AIDS it was like a dam broke and flooded his system. The infections overwhelmed his body and killed him. It’s likely that the HIV progressed to AIDS very recently for him. Most people with AIDS live to know they have it, some don’t. This is a case of untreated and undiscovered HIV. His body was fighting off opportunistic infections during the HIV stage until AIDS made it impossible and the infection took over quickly.
