For one thing, the people with the resistance aren't the ones who've been living there in the last 100,000 years. "There"? I don't think they've figured out where HIV has been during the past 100,000 years. Given the ease with which it recombines, not sure they ever will.

Do you have HIV and Ebola confused? They don't know where Ebola hangs out when it's not in humans. By comparison, it's pretty certain HIV is a mutation of a simian virus that jumped to humans in fairly recent times. The ancestral form is still around in monkeys and apes.
