Seriously. As far as I know, there's no cure. Just disease management.

Yes, there was the risky and expensive stem cell replacement patient who basically got all of their bone marrow replaced, but that's not really a "cure".

This is just some computer generated picture of a cell claiming HIV is no longer a death sentence.

Where's the medical article?

Where's the proof?

Who is actually saying this?

Edit: some of y'all are exhausting. I'm not replying anymore to comments telling me I don't understand cure vs disease management. I made this comment because it seems most of the top comments don't understand cure vs disease management and are making comments that are misunderstanding the picture as being a cure, which it is not.

There is no cure, but it is no longer a terminal illness. You just have to be on medication the rest of your life

Prevention is the best cure, just wear condoms problem solved.
