Substitute 'smoker' for 'gay men' and 'lung cancer' for 'AIDS'. Would you still have the same concerns about the study? Does smoking in general lower life expectancy? That is to say, do smokers who do not get lung cancer generally live shorter lives than non-smokers?

"That is to say, do smokers who do not get lung cancer generally live shorter lives than non-smokers?"Depends on the study you look at. Most studies indicate there are many things that can cause an early death for smokers. Same is true for homosexuals. (They don't just die of AIDS.)
