They are not immune to HIV. They lack the receptor for HIV. Many people lack this receptor naturally.

People without the receptor that HIV targets are immune to HIV because of that, like how a rock is immune to verbal abuse or double foot amputees are immune to ingrown toenails. The immune system being able to kill something isn't the only way things can be immune to other things.
