I'd like to know the cause of death. Hemophilliacs often die of hemophillia not AIDS. This was the case with Ryan White despite media hype to the contrary.

Nobody ever dies *of* AIDS. They die because AIDS so severely weakens their system that something else comes along & kills them (pneumonia, etc).

Not true. AIDS will eventually attack the major organs including the brain. Most folks do however contract other illnesses before the AIDS damage becomes life-threatening.

Mulitple blood transfusions are known to be immuno-suppressive. I'd like to know why they are blaming HIV in his death. Ryan White certainly didn't die of an immune system failure but rather complications common to hemophillia.
