There is a reason the major pharma companies are relying on government to fund the research. AIDS is a virus. There has never been a cure found for any virus. A virus must run its course. Big pharma is more than happy to take Uncle Sugar’s money to say they are working on a cure. They get a ton of money without any risk. If there were really a chance of curing AIDS, they would sink their own research money into it. If the government really wants to stop the spread, they should quarantine those who have it. They were perfectly willing to quarantine the whole country for the Chinese flu, weren’t they?
Yes, most viruses have no “cure”.
But for many viruses, including that causing AIDS, medicaal science has found means to reduce/lower the replication of a virus that remains within us, to offset or counter the ill effects of a virus, and strengthen the immune system’s ability against viruses and bacteria that may try to exploit weakened conditions induced by a virus. They are not “cures” but they are more than just “waiting a virus out”, which in some cases, with some viruses, such inactive response means death, versus a longer life living with a virus.
