How did the arbiter not get infected by the flood?

The Arbiter (Thel 'Vadam) wasn't infected by Flood spores primarily due to his energy shields and sealed armor, which blocked direct contact, but also because the Flood outbreaks he encountered weren't always at peak spore density, and he often arrived after initial infection phases, benefiting from "plot armor" or specific scenarios where the Gravemind needed him for its own plans, such as guiding him to the Index in Halo 2.

Are Spartans immune to the flood?

No, Spartans aren't truly immune, but they possess significant resistance due to genetic enhancements (Spartan-I) or armor/skills (Spartan-II/III/IVs), making infection very difficult but not impossible, with infected Spartans becoming terrifying, powerful combat forms, especially older models where the Flood can corrupt Mjolnir armor. Sergeant Johnson (Spartan-I) showed partial immunity, but later generations are less resistant, though still formidable targets.
