The main reason is that HIV is unlike any other virus that causes disease. A vaccine can be made for basically every other virus, becuase if you introduce dead or weakened versions of the virus the immune system recognizes it and then kills the virus effectively and quickly whenever it is introduced into the system. With HIV, however, the virus attacks the very cells that normally carry out this function. Also, it mutates very quickly, making attempts at curing or even alleviating its symptoms all the more difficult.
As for the other poster who said that HIV is not the cause of AIDS, he is spouting dangerous lies. Every credible scientist who has ever worked on AIDS agrees that it is caused by HIV. AIDS existed well before AZT was used to treat it - how could it cause AIDS?

When we realise that HIV couldn't possibly cause AIDS, because of the type of virus it is, then we might be able to find the cure for AIDS. The cause of AIDS has never actually been found and hasn't been proven to be HIV. The people in this video (microbiologists) believe that the drug AZT, given to HIV infected people, could be the main cause of AIDS.
"AZT is thee most toxic drug ever liscensed for long term consumption", from the video...
James: I'm goin' by what this video says if you watched it you might have a different answer... I don't just believe that a retro-virus (HIV) which does it's most damage at the begining of infection, could go dormant for several years then all of a sudden attack every organ in the body... Watch the video.....

Cures for any decease are just there for the taking. It takes lots of research, time and money. They have made tremendous strides in a relatively short time. They still have a long way to go, but HIV is not the death sentence it once was. Other deceases, such as cancer and diabetes have been with us much longer without a cure, but things are much better.

A treatment for homophobia be sought and found this decade (illnesses and well being)? I even have constantly theory that homophobia is understanding and prepared terrorism. I say this because of the fact homophobes persecute universal people merely for the crime of loving somebody. If there have been no homophobia and personage have been universal per se, then in universal relationships, Human Rights may be respected. over the final, say 30 years hundreds of thousands upon hundreds of thousands of personage have been terrorised, under pressure, killed and their Human Rights denied, a right away consequence of homophobia. it rather is the homophobic personage at fault of direction because of the fact they unfold the ailment. i'm dumbfounded at why there is little or no investment in a treatment being sought which might carry tolerance and empathy to hundreds of thousands of people into this fantastic international. My question is whilst do you think of a treatment would be got here across and put in use/ I thank you for it sluggish.

because the governments are making tons of money on the medications (taxes etc.), if they were to cure it they wouldn't get any more money, there are good honest people trying to find a cure not all are like that.
