I haven't a clue.
I read a newspaper article months ago about this man who had full blown aids. He had it for a couple of years, went regularly to the hospital for check ups etc.
Supposedly, a few weeks before the article was published, the virus had miraculously gone. He was totally clear.
He had been through so much with his illness though, that he just wanted to forget about it, not go for more tests etc to see exactly how and why he was clear of it...
I don't know if this is true though, I mean, surely if it was it would have been all over the news and such, with scientists etc going into overdrive trying to see how his body had beat it?

Since the epidemic of HIV/AIDS in the late eighties early nineties the anti retrovirus drugs have moved forward a hell of a lot and the people with the diseases have a much longer survival rate, however in all cases of illness prevention is better than cure.

"How much" is a qualitative and subjective question. However, I dare say they have made a lot of progress; now we know about the physiopathology of the disease, we know a lot about the course of the disease, we have developed practical and useful treatment to control the disease and improve the prognosis, we have developed guidelines in this regard, ...
Meanwhile, as some friends have mentioned we are still far from cure. There is multi-billion USD race among pharmaceutical companies for developing better therapies.

some drugs have been successful at slowing the development of aids. because it attacks the imunes system it was always going to be difficult to find a treatment. i work for a charitable organisation which has had to deal with these issues and use these websites a lot.

no cure so far, only treatment. Due to the fact it is a retrovirus and other factors, a cure is going to be very difficult to find.

One of the great fallacies we delude ourselves with is the idea that science can find a cure for everything.

When there's a cure or vaccine, we'll tell you. In the meantime don't do any drugs or have unprotected sex, whops too late sorry.
