Yes to all of the above.

What about children born with HIV? Are their deaths also Darwinian triumphs?

That's a bit tougher. It's obvious that Darwin was not totally triumphant, as the parent(s) was(were) able to reproduce before the AIDS got them (their sucessful conception possibly contributing to one parent having AIDS). However, more than likely it will retroactively give Darwin his victory (much like abortion).
