There is no cure for HIV. You would do well to look up some HIV material yourself on the web. Your question is too general for this community.

HIV is incurable meaning we don't have a cure for this STD yet. At first HIV starts off with no symptoms for days like any other STD. When symptoms are starting in your body you would have
1. Rapid weight loss
2. Dry cough
3. Recurring fever or profuse night sweats
4. Profound and unexplained fatigue
5. Wollen lymph glands in the armpits, groin, or neck
6. Diarrhea that lasts for more than a week
7. White spots or unusual blemishes on the tongue, in the mouth, or in the throat
8. Pneumonia
9. Red, brown, pink, or purplish blotches on or under the skin or inside the mouth, nose, or eyelids
10. Memory loss, depression, and other neurological disorders
If this is not treated early you could make the disease worse and get AIDS.

What is it? HIV is the acronym for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, a virus that attacks the body's immune system, leading to full-blown AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). AIDS is devastating because it leaves the body susceptible to life-threatening infections and certain kinds of cancers.
How is it contracted? Through oral, anal, or vaginal sex, and from an HIV-positive mother to her baby. To prevent it, use a condom every time you have sex; find out the sexual history of any new partners, including their HIV status; and don't share needles if you do intravenous drugs. If you're pregnant and are HIV-positive, talk to your doctor about how to prevent passing the virus along to your child.
Incubation Period: Some people develop symptoms shortly after being infected, but for many it takes more than ten years for symptoms to appear.
Symptoms: Most symptoms of AIDS are not caused directly by HIV, but by an infection or other condition brought on by a weakened immune system. These include severe weight loss, fever, headache, night sweats, fatigue, severe diarrhea, shortness of breath, and difficulty swallowing. The symptoms tend to last for weeks or months at a time and do not go away without treatment. In some cases, infections result in death. Testing: A blood test can tell you if you have HIV. Anyone who is sexually active and unsure of the sexual history or HIV status of their partner(s) should be tested every year.
Treatment: So far, there is no cure for AIDS, but some drug regimens that combine medications such as AZT (Retrovir) with ritonavir or norvir are proving effective at strengthening immunity and keeping infections at bay, thereby prolonging the lives of many AIDS sufferers. Combination drug therapy has benefited many people for years, but it is still unclear how long the drugs will remain effective, especially since effectiveness varies significantly from person to person.
The drugs must also be taken in large quantities, usually on a daily basis, and there are many side effects. When drug treatment is stopped, new symptoms can arise, or old ones return. If you're pregnant and HIV-positive, taking AZT throughout the pregnancy and during delivery can reduce the chances that the virus will be transmitted to the baby.
If you are not treated: HIV progresses more rapidly into full-blown AIDS without treatment, usually because of infections that develop as a result of the patient's weakened immune system.

Side effects can range from mild irritations to serious health problems. Common side effects should be taken into consideration when choosing a combination. It is also important to consider existing medical conditions that may be worsened by some anti-HIV drugs.
When taking other drugs, food supplements or alternative therapies it's important to check with a doctor that they will not interfere with anti-HIV medication. Some substances can reduce absorption rates and so increase the risk of drug resistance developing.

whitish coating on the tongue, throat or vagina, rapid weight loss from an unknown cause (more than 10 lbs. in two months for no reason)

I don't see that attire. I see a wonderful, talented, funny man. I love ya just the way you are, ((((((((((Jack)))))))))). No religion, no disease can change that. And, to be honest, I don't give a rat's asss what any religion has to say about HIV - or homosexuality. So, I can't really say how it's been influenced by it. Overall, religion continues to be popular in a day and age when humanity should be past such archaic thinking because people love to have an excuse to judge others - at least, this applies to the Abrahamic religions. And, I say "screw 'em".

Indinavir is an antiviral medication in a group of HIV medicines called protease (PRO-tee-ayz) inhibitors. Indinavir prevents human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cells from multiplying in your body.
Indinavir is used to treat HIV, which causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Indinavir is not a cure for HIV or AIDS.

Life-threatening side effects may occur if you take indinavir with alfuzosin (Uroxatral), amiodarone (Cordarone, Pacerone), cisapride (Propulsid), pimozide (Orap), alprazolam (Xanax), oral midazolam (Versed), triazolam (Halcion), lovastatin (Mevacor, Altoprev, Advicor), simvastatin (Zocor, Simcor, Vytorin, Juvisync), sildenafil (Revatio, for treating pulmonary arterial hypertension), or ergot medicines such as ergotamine (Ergomar, Cafergot), dihydroergotamine (D.H.E. 45, Migranal Nasal Spray), ergonovine (Ergotrate), or methylergonovine (Methergine).

there is no cure for HIV, and if you are having severe side effects you need to talk to the prescribing doctor about those.

Theres no cure, however there is an HIV cocktail of about 30 pills you have to take each day. Each have their own horrible side effects. Personally i would ask to be euthanized, but thats just me.
