You don't get cryptococcal meningitis or disseminated MAC from malnutrition.
Agreed. Neither from HIV. Malnutrition is the cause for a weakened immune system, so would HIV/AIDS be (alledgedly), making one more vulnerable to any disease.
If HIV/AIDS is the real culprit, you would not expect malnourished people to be overrepresented within the deceased due to HIV/AIDS, but rather to find the same ratio of well fed to malnourished Africans as in the general population.
