AIDS is not able to be classified as fatal or non-fatal. AIDS is a diagnosis given to someone who is HIV+ and exhibiting certain clinical criteria.

HIV is a potentially deadly virus that requires advanced medical care to be treated successfully. HIV positive people may live a very long time if proper medical care is readily available and applied successfully.

Yes. Death is inevitable for everyone.

If you mean the risk of mortality is greater for people with AIDS, the answer is also yes. AIDS is a degenerative disease, and can only be slowed down.

The major part of "slowing down" currently happens during the HIV-period - namely when someone is infected with the HIV-virus but doesn't show signs of AIDS yet.
