AIDS is not something you are infected with. AIDS is a diagnosis that HIV positive patients are given when they exhibit certain clinical criteria.
The reason HIV is unaffected by the body's immune response has to do with the nature of the virus. HIV uses the part of the body that fights disease during its replication process. It essentially turns immune system cells into virus producing factories.
Using the immune system in this way allows the virus to go unchecked in the body, resulting in serious health consequences without medical treatment.
