Indeed he is. The only reason he ever became the hero he is when he found out he was HIV positive, but unlike ordinary HIV patients Paul's body is much more resiliant due to the Spirit of Justice inhabiting his body, so it'll take more than a scratch to really kill him. ( it's like Eddie Brock and Venom's relationship, The symbiote kept Brock's terminal cancer at bay for awhile, but it could not cure it and the infection took its toll on Brocks body.). Hell in the last issue before he even succumbs to the disease, ShadowHawk fought his arch-rival Hawk's Shadow in brutal showdown where both warriors where damaged severly and won.
