Hate to sound cynical here, but what reason does anyone (any company) have for finding a cure for AIDS when there are billions to be made in producing the drugs which make the disease more livable? Can anyone here give me the name of an epidemic disease that has been "cured" in the past 20 years? There aren't any. In fact, the old ones are re-emerging (like tuberculosis and polio) because the companies can supply medicines to make the disease "livable". If you're cured-there's no need for buying the drug.Thatwould seriously cut into the revenues of the drug-producing companies.
