That level of pedantry only matters when you are an expert in the field. For the laymen "dieing of AIDS" is what you would say to communicate "they died of an illness they otherwise would have easily fought off because their immune system was compromised by an untreated HIV infection".
It’s completely different in this situation because , for example, when a 16 year old came in with 6 gunshot wounds to the chest while at a party and just happened to test positive for covid, we had to claim his primary cause of death was due to covid and the 6 holes in his lungs/ heart was secondary .
we don’t do that for aids patients
