Only if exposure is total and death before reproduction highly likely. Even in South Africa, the vast majority of the population isn't infected. Those who are infected still often pass on their genes before they die. Unchecked HIV will certainly increase the concentration of these genes over time, but with the current situation it'll take many generations.
