Nobody really knows at this point. For all we, the general public, know, there is already one and nobody wants to release it. It really wouldn't be surprising if there was a cure. Remember the biological testing in the New York subway system? This was done with the FULL COMPLIANCE of the US Government (being American myself, I can say legally I'm embarrassed of my government; the bunch of bloody idiots.) In any case, the only thing left to do is hope that either someone creates one and releases it or that the one that (possibly) exists is released for general use.

Aids is a virus and viruses can not be cured. There is treatment that helps relieve the pain and some of the symptoms of aids but other wise it is all most incurable. Since they have started stem cell research though Aids can be finding a cure very soon. One kid Had new cells put into him he that made him Aids free. That didn't work with everyone though so it could be years from now till they find a cure for Aids if they ever do.

It isn't likely to happen. We have never been able to cure a retrovirus. AIDS is a retrovirus just like the common cold. And we are just as likely to find a cure for AIDS as we are for the common cold. We've been trying to cure the common cold a heck of a lot longer. However, AIDS research is a multibillion dollar industry. So, they will continue to lead you on as long as you are willing to pay for it no matter how useless it is. Understand that I mean that the search is useless, not compassion for those who suffer this disease. I wish that we could cure it, but I don't believe we can.

Not close at all. Treatments for those infected are available, but there is no cure now and none on the horizon at this time. Wish the answer were better -- a lot of Asia, India, and Africa do too.

I think your question is impossible to answer. It's like asking, "When will you perform your next miracle?" Scientific research is an uncertain venture. The most likely outcome is that you will fail, because what you are attempting is so very difficult. Having more researchers working on the problem definitely increases the odds of achieving success, but there are no guarantees. It's a very complex problem with countless possibilities.

I'm really close to coming up with a cure. I just need some plutonium to generate the 1.5 gigawatts of electricity I need......
