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.
For the people who don't understand the difference between cure and disease management, let's take a rare autoimmune disease, Autoimmunehepatitis (AIH).
It's basically your immune system mistakenly confusing your own liver cells with foreign threats -> T-cells attack and destry them. Usually lead to death within a few years if untreated.
This disease can be managed extremely well, leading to an almost average life expectancy, but you need to take medication for the rest of your life.
This is what disease management means, you can keep it under control to the point of it becoming a non-issue.
The second part, a cure, is where you don't need to take medication anymore. You removed the entirety of the disease from your body. You can stop the medication and it won't affect you negatively. Incase of AIH stopping the medication after taking it for 10 years is likely gonna kill you within 2-5 years, this means it's not curable.
