Well, I don't think so, based on what I've read. I think, rather, that it is the onset of a weak immune system that invites the virus to establish itself...and the further deterioration of the immune system that causes the patient to die. The virus complicates the issue, all right, but I think it's one a number of symptoms, not a cause.

The causes are: bad diet, drugs poisoining the body, alchohol and caffiene poisoning the body, malnutrition, lack of sleep, lack of exercise and sunlight, electromagnetic pollution of the nervous system, stress causing further toxic buildup in the body, failure of the eliminative systems causing further toxic buildup in the body, and so on. Modern lifestyle, to put it briefly.

It's a multi-dimensional problem. Aids tends to be high among drug abusers, because drug abusers are constantly battering their own immune system.

You really would have to read the book "Roger's Recovery From Aids", and then we could have a useful discussion about this. Otherwise, we are just blowing bubbles and wearing out our fingers on the keyboard.
