Denied
The Board denied entitlement to service connection for the Veteran's cause of death, as there was no evidence linking the Veteran's HIV to his military service.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence weighed against finding that the Veteran's cause of death (HIV) was etiologically related to his service.
