The novels aren't 100% accurate (for example Mantis creating Fun House Mirrors). Anyway, Kojima flat out says her fate is not clear.

"Translation - context: talking about Quiet, in the novelization she dies.

Interviewer: I see. You wrote the script before the game was complete so the way you perceived it was wrong.

Hitori Nojima: Afterwards, Kojima pointed out "She's not dead". "In the game it's not clear" he said. I thought, if that's the case you should have told me earlier! (laughs)

Interviewer: As expected, she's not dead! Well then, I want her to come back! (laughs)

Hitori Nojima: But, it's because she leaves that it's touches us emotionally. Because of the sense of loss of Quiet. However from the viewpoint of the game, it also leaves the feeling of whether or not the virus has taken effect."
