I am speaking from my knowledge as a social worker, and not as a physician. The main problem with HIV is that it devastates the body's immune system; it is not the direct action of the virus itself that kills. A person can be healthy even with a very low white blood cell count. The problem is that with a compromised immune system, the body is by definition more vulnerable to many illnesses that otherwise would be no problem, or at worst a minor problem. These illnesses or diseases are called opportunistic; they have the "opportunity" to take hold and thrive, and so they do. It is the opportunistic disease that ends up being fatal. So the immediate cause of death can be very different from one person to another who has succumbed to AIDS.
It depends on where you live and what treatments you have access to. If you live in the developed world and have access to antiretroviral therapies then you can live for much longer than if you don't.
If you are diagnosed, in the West, at 20 and put straight on medication you can expect to live for another 30 or 40 years before the illness becomes a threat to your life. Some reports even claim that HIV no longer reduces expected life span at all thanks to medication.
Unfortunately this medication is not routinely available in every country, and some places, like Africa, have seen average life expectancies plummet because of the number of AIDS related deaths that skew the statistics. It's worth pointing out that AIDS itself doesn't kill you, rather the fact that you have an Auto Immune Deficiency Syndrome means that your body loses the ability to fight off other infections, like pneumonia, bronchitis etc, that then become so powerful you die from them.
I'm sorry if this doesn't answer your question neatly, but it's not a neat illness.
