Soon meaning in like 5-10 years?

probably

Yes recent journals I read such as hematopoietic transplantation and gene theraphy have opened up the new plausible ways for HIV treatment

of course

i hope so

for cancer too

No. Ever since I can recall, there's always some "major breakthrough" that never really comes to fruition

No because they earn more money this way.

Then what about meds that let you have a norml life expectancy?

Hopefully.

We're not that far tbh: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-24051860

Yes.

Yes

But I heard there is a new even worse STD that's been discovered so were screwed anyway

I doubt it

Yes I think so.

Nope, same with cancer. Pharmaceutical companies get more money without a cure, plus just like cancer it's population control.

A few people have been functionally cured of it according to a few reports this year.

I think so. A cure for HIV is far more probable than for other conditions like cancer.

Maybe.

No.
Although there are medical advances being made, there are not currently any signs of a "cure" or vaccine coming anytime soon.

Anyone who says yes is simply uninformed.

It could happen but I would be scared that something deadlier than HIV would arrive after it

They already have a cure. They just don't wanna let the GP know about it.

Cancer is the bigger killer though.
