We all have had the education this is nothing new.
It shows me the idea of condomns isn't working.
Here is the cheap and effective plane to control HIV.
1. Get tested and know your status.
2. Before you go to bed with someone know their status if in doubt DON'T!
We are far more than mammals we have brains. Lets use them.
Now tell me what is wrong with my plan?

Condomn are 75% effective.
The plan already addresses those who have HIV that you don't spread it.
Cure isn't going to happen to this virus because it mutates so fast by the time they get a cure for one there is another already out there.
Our behavior is our best weapon to control this diease.

You're right, but sadly, not because we all are born with a brain, doesn't mean we all use it:
1...People and the "physical appearance" misconceptions, just because someone looks clean and nice, "that person should not have AIDS".....wrong, statistics show that those are the worst and most dangerous partners...
2...People confuse "freedom" and
"licentiousness".....we have freedom to choose, but we should be careful not to go to bed with someone that sleeps around...
3...People have a sexual life like if there's no tomorrow taking unnecessary risks.....first, check and make sure that your partner is not HIV positive
4...People refuse to use protection just "because it doesn't feel the same".......well, getting infected is quite scary, feeling sure must feel even better

Condoms help, but condoms still break - they are NOT foolproof.
In the Black community HIV and AIDS are still both very much stigmatized - nobody wants to talk about it, and if you have it you are considered an outcast.
What's wrong with your plan? It doesn't address the problem of those that are already infected, and more education is clearly needed - its an ongoing battle. If you can cure the people that are infected, or at least make them non-infectious, the disease will die out on its own. Other than that, your plan is right on.

The uncontrollable part of this epidemic is that it is drug and sex related which are addiction and lust driven. Those characteristics make the ability to contract and or pass the virus along all that much easier.
I have met and spoken to too many teens who meet someone and that night are in bed with them. Neither they nor their partner have been tested, they don't know anything about the others sex or drug history and at that moment don't care. Society is behind the 8-ball on that point. I do wish it was as easy as just getting tested and using precaution but it is not. Unfortunately children resulting from these acts are caught in the crossfire.

As opposed to almost any other epidemic, AIDS is one that is nearly 100% preventable and could easily be eradicated in one generation.
But between gays refusing to face up to facts, intravenous drug users not caring, and Africans humping anything in sight, it probably won't.

When sex drive arises, thinking intelligently goes right out the door.
