Is it politics? With the technology today we cannot find a cure? It is hard to believe.

A 'cure' for a virus (especially a retrovirus such as HIV) is extremely difficult, as the virus tends to mutate very fast, so that the body (or science) has to continually come up with different ways to fight off the infection. In other words, you can come up with a vaccine for HIV, only to have it mutate into a form that isn't stopped by the vaccine. In fact, this is what happens in the body. With first infection, the amount of HIV increases rapidly in the body, and then nearly disappears for quite a long time. During this time of dormancy, the virus and the immune system are in a constant war, with the virus mutating to new forms and the body combating those new warriors. Eventually, the immune system gets worn down, and collapses. HIV itself does not kill a person, but secondary infections that the body cannot fight off finish the job.
The most effective 'cure' for HIV is prevention and education.

Its hard to cure HIV because there are a bunch of lunatics out there that just keep having sex and don't use the protection like they should and don't care about HIV or any of the STD's. They don't care about abortions either. Its hard when more and more people keep getting AIDS and all are more into pleasure for a couple hours and don't think about dealing with the pain they are going to have for the rest of their lives. People probably also don't think that there could always be more STD'S to come with the way the world is. So far, the only cure we have is protection with condoms and so forth and educating anyone and everyone. If anyone gives a crap they will follow through.

There have been many advances made in the research for AIDS like the HAART vaccine that stabilizes the disease. Other than that, there's nothing concrete. You would think it would be more of a priority because of the millions of people affected by it. In the long run, the governments of the various countries are benefiting from their diseased and this might be seen as a ways of population control in 3rd world countries.

There is a long list of deadly diseases that don't have cures. A lot of them have been leading causes of death far longer than HIV as well. If anything there is probably a disproportionate amount of HIV/AIDS research.

HIV is a super bug due to the over use of antibiotics in the 20th century a few diseases (HIV and MRSA for example) have gained complete immunity from the usual antibiotics therefore it is very ahrd to kill them, also it is harder to kill virus' as they do not need food and cannot be poisoned, they are strands of DNA with markers. Don't believe crap about conspiracies and modern technology aint that great :P. hop[e ih elped you mate :D

speaking from an in depth buddies journey i understand that there is not any treatment for hiv...there are besides the shown fact that, many drugs that can forestall the hiv virus starting to be AIDS. those drugs are huge-unfold as antiretriviral treatment and a mixture of one or many drugs may well be used to assist. there is not any treatment available for the AIDS virus besides the shown fact that, and hiv can become aids if the guy contracts many colds, pneumonia or develops maximum cancers to illustrate. i'm hoping this has been of help to you.

apparently you haven't studied the problem.... HIV destroys the very cells that run the immune system. Without an immune system you can't kill off the virus. We haven't found a medicine ( poison) that kills the virus faster than it kills us. I don't think there will ever be a cure.By the way, antibiotics don't affect viruses, never have.

that would be so cool. not that i have HIV, but it would still be cool. you know what he would do? he would see someone else diagnose someone with HIV and then he would discover it to be something else, and THEN he would cure them. lol, i've seen him do that so many times...

Talk to your local and state politcal officials. The only way they are going to cure it is by stem cell research.
