| Being HIV positive is no death sentence |
Hi
If you are, God forbid, HIV positive, it means you have AIDS. So this sentence might have been spoken by a doctor to a patient who just got to know that the test result was positive and not negative.
Being HIV positive does not imply that you are going to die.
Being HIV positive does not mean death.
Just my little two cents...

What do you mean, LE? Do you want to know whether it's a negative sentence or not?

Ah ha! :D
If that's the case, then we still don't have a sentence in which 'being' is the only verb in the sentence. The verb in this sentence is is. 8)
