Whether HIV/AIDS causes someone's death isn't clear, but without treatment, it certainly can be. Kailash Borke, who expired few days after being diagnosed, didn't have any treatment. What's worse is that HIV, though not contagious by casual contact, is sexually transmissible. Borke's wife — only earning member of the family — is now HIV positive.
