I could be wrong, but wouldn't AIDS make it way more likely to get cancer? From my uneducated perspective, that seems like it would be a common thing.

Yes. It is normal for your body to have some level of cancer cells, but the immune system constantly keeps cancers in check. As the immune system weakens, cancers are more likely to become problematic. There's even a group of cancer that is so much more likely to happen in AIDS patients that they're known as AIDS-related cancers.
