In 1969, a 16-year-old boy named Robert Rayford was admitted to a hospital in St. Louis, Missouri. He was weak, emaciated, rife with stubborn infections, and riddled with rare cancerous lesions known as Kaposi’s sarcoma, a skin disease found in elderly men of Mediterranean descent. Three months after he was admitted, he died of pneumonia. More than ten years later, similar cases were seen in states like New York and California. It was eventually discovered that young Robert Rayford actually had AIDS.   Using 2-3 pieces of evidence from the text, explain why Robert Rayford ended up dying from pneumonia.
