Answer:

Any heritable traits that help humans survive and reproduce in the presence of AIDS should become more frequent over time.

Explanation:

The theory of natural selection is defined as <em>the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring</em>. This means that, in this case, people who inherit a trait in their genes that allows them to resist the HIV virus, will be able to survive better and have children.

Unfortunately, there is no record of such a trait existing, and in this case, there is no kind of natural selection that can arise if every human becomes infected.
