    Yeah I should have put vaccine instead but HIV is a virus that is majorly different than most other viruses.

      You know they cured aids in babies. They are close to a cure in cancer and They also are making something to help people with rapid aging disease to age slower.

          Whatever the babies have. They contract the virus from the mother. The article said "Cures aids in babies".

              I never said you had to read anything. That is entirely your decision. You were asking if they would ever cure any of these. I was telling everything they have accomplished so far. I don't care if you read any articles. Do what you wish in your own time.

      It's mechanics are no different though. There's no difference between AIDS and a viral cold or pneumonia, really. It's all in how it replicates. THAT'S the mystery, how to stop it from replicating. bacteria is easy, virus is difficult, and as yet impossible for us to stop.

        Alright, this is bothering me. HIV is the virus. AIDS is not...it's caused by HIV. The problem with a vaccine is that most infection occurs through cell contact with an infected cell so antibodies are not able to access the virus. There's just so much to the virus. I think maybe the only hope is to just wait a looong time until the virus becomes avirulent as seen with SIV.
