What is the reason why people with HIV/AIDS often die?

The virus attacks the liver and pancreas which together produce insulin and bile.

The virus causes cancer, most notably of the colon, rectum, and testicles, and these very dangerous forms of cancer explain why so many more men die of HIV/AIDS as compared to women.
