AIDS itself is almost never (or just plain never) a direct cause of death. thus "AIDS-related pneumonia", etc. It all boils down to the nature of the disease -- AIDS destroys the immune system, but it's up to something else (often times something normally fairly innocuous) to take the life. Cancer, on the other hand, actually *can* be cause of death.
thus, someone dies "of" cancer.
but someone can only die "with" AIDS.

AIDS causes your body to be infected with some other disease that you can die of, say in Fred's case, pneumonia or even the common cold.
Actually, AIDS doesn't really cause infection. It destroys your immune system so that if infection does occur, your body no longer has the abilities to fight it off, and then you die.

Infection IS inevitable, unless you live in a 100% sterile bubble, which is theoretically impossible.
