Holy got infected because she does not have the willpower to handle or manifest a Stand, which is kind of a dumb reasoning when you realise that there are animals and such that can manifest Stands although that's the given justification for it.

Spoilers: I am also willing to bet that The World is actually DIO's Stand rather than Jonathan's, given that Diego Brando from an Alternate Universe in Steel Ball Run also possesses THE WORLD, which is identical to The World in practically every way, and does not possess the body of someone else.
