I hate to be a stick in the mud, but every exciting advancement in HIV, and other diseases, is followed by a rush for publicity and donations, followed by..... silence. In 3 decades the best we can do is keep our loved ones alive by constantly taking toxic drugs that cost a fortune. It costs my son over $2000 a month and gradual damage to his liver. And if we can't afford it or get help, we start planning a funeral.
The same thing has happened with cancer and most of the other major diseases. The promises for more than 50 years that we're on the "verge of a cure." But if you get sick you find out all they have are long term treatments that get progressively more expensive.
As long as the drug companies are allowed to get rich making drugs that just keep us going, we will never see a cure for anything.
