Maybe someday AIDS will just be a harmless virus that doesn't bother anyone, since mankind will have acquired an immunity to it?

  sure, once the 90% of people who don't have resistance all die without producing offspring.

    Evolution is a two way street, and viruses are way faster to mutate than human beings. HIV is probably already evolving a bunch of different strains with variying degrees of mortality and morbidity. Those that tend to remain dormant for longer or otherwise fail to kill the host are more likely to spread faster. If you consider that plus the fact that humans are already begining to develop defenses, you comment could be qualified as: 90% of people who don't have resistence face worse health outcomes, - up to but not necesarily an early demise, - and end up producing fewer offspring.
