No idea on how long it lasts either. On the other hand if you've ever discovered (through a variety of means) that you are naturally immune or resistant to cholera, diptheria, AIDS, and a couple of other diseases you are probably also immune to the plague.

There are several theories about why these diseases are unable to attack certain people, but nothing has yet been proven.

Wow, all of those are related to the same natural immunity? I had not heard that. There must be a Nobel Prize awaiting the researcher who explains that.....

I’m glad to say that I have absolutely no idea whether I’m naturally resistant to HIV/AIDS since I have never engaged in activity that would put me at risk..... except that during chemotherapy and surgeries for cancer I have had around 12 units of blood transfusions into me at different times, so I suppose there is a remote possibility that my immune system was tested that way....... so far no problem.
