No.

As much as it sucks, it's not murder. Not even close.

EDIT: Perhaps I should clarify that statement. Murder is the willful and purposeful taking of someones life, in which they have no choice.

Although the Pope's suggestions may carry some influence, they aren't the willful taking of someones life. As well, these people do have choices. Maybe not the best ones, and yeah, it's a terrible situation, but they still have many choices in which they could not contract AIDS.

So no, it's not murder, not even close.
