I can't recall what they believe the exact reason for survival is (if they had the body all figured out, cancer and viruses would have no effect on us), but they believe it may be a frame-shift mutation on part of the mitochondrial RNA, which slightly changes the shape of some nameless protein that halts virus synthesis once AIDS reaches a certain point within the body. (I could be wrong, it's been a while since I read the article)
