"Effective treatment" rather than "cure".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_of_HIV/AIDS

The results of antiretroviral drugs have been astonishing, and most people with a new HIV diagnosis for whom multidrug antiretroviral therapy is available (and who comply with it) will never expect to develop AIDS symptoms.

"Effective treatment" is in the body of the post, while "cure" is in the title, and is misleading.



agree, nowadays HIV infection is a kind of chronic condition, far removed from what it used to be


We've spent a fortune on AIDS research in the past 30 years. Why wouldn't we expect to have treatments?

We could do so much more research for all diseases. Personally, in 1985, I would have expected cancer, AIDS, and many other major disease to all be cured by now. It's actually depressing how much work remains.
