They will almost absolutely. The FDA doesn't want to approve any cures or treatments because of the loss of billions of dollars in Cancer and AIDS research. They're looking for the silver bullet and ignoring all other possible cures.
There is already an herbal remedy for Cancer and Diabetes, so I don't doubt they already figured out an AIDS one.

I think once it is proven true(if) then no, they won't be able to. They are greedy yes, but most of the people in Africa receiving medicine are getting it for free so they won't lose any money there. As for here in the States, if you can keep someone alive long enough, they will eventually get sick and need some other meds. I think it all would even out.

If it's properly tested and proven, then no.
"Breakthrough treatments" are usually the culmination of a long, complex, scientifically demanding process. I think you are extremely generous, not to mention premature to describe this treatment as a "breakthrough" when none of the claims have been subject to independent scientific scrutiny.

Likely they'll be in a rush to create a generic.
