As with all viruses, there is no cure for hiv. Viruses are never cured, only slowed down, or stopped. They hide away in your body until the effects of certain medicines go down, or stress allows the defenses to be weakened. If there were a cure for hiv, we'd have a cure for the cold, the flu and no one would get either ever again once they got the shot, and everytime somone got the flu, they could go to the doctor and get rid of it immediately. But there are no cures, only medications. What makes viruses dangerous is that they mutate, and overcome medicines, as well as destroy the cells they attack in the process of their reproductive lifecycle. This is what makes hiv especially dangerous. But it is a virus, and as of now, there is no cure. Getting tested and using protection are the only way we can stop or slow down the spread of it right now.
