In the book series it tells you that Sgt. Johnson had found a box full of Plasma Gernades and threw them all to save his neck.
The radiation from all the gernades scrambled his immune system and the flood infection forms couldn't match his immune system (wich is what they do)
so he basacilly can't be infected.
And no it doesn't take a spartan to throw 50 plasies.In a later book, it tells us that that incident was a fake, a coverup by ONI.
It is sposisble that he has Borens Syndrome. If he does, it has to be from some sort of Forerunner crystal (probbaly in Harvest).
Or, the reason he can't be infected is because he already has a substantial amount of (dormant) Flood DNA surgically implanted in him from when ONI (most definately) visited Halo many years before (would explain all the MP maps, and the "meddlers" 343 GS mentioned in CftU), giving him regenerative abilities and immunity from the Flood, as well as superhuman strength.
This explains why he appears to be in his thirties when, in fact, he is, at the minimum, 67 years old (though more likely being 75, as he would not be drafted into a top-secret program in his first year in the UNSC)
Also, HGN says he is a SPARTAN-I, so he is a Spartan ;)
