Aids mutates millions of times in a body everday, and evertime it mutates it is not an exact copie of itself, it losses a little of it self time after time, all new med, like protease inhibitors, block the virus from completing its function to make a copy of it self, so with medication we have the ability to get a person to an undetectabe stage but not all the way knocked out. we have what is called sleeper cells in our body where the virus hides, every antibody in your body at one time or another has fought off any infection like measles, the mumps, sore throat, what ever and there allways persent when there not needed sleeping waiting for say the measles, then they wake up and fight it, the aids virus hides here if we find away to wake these cells we possible can find a cure, but reaserch is tryin to wake these cells in diffrent studys maybe one day well have a cure, buts thats way off..
