there is no cure yet
the cocktail can sometimes prevent HIV from turning into AIDS
the person will need to monitor their diet, exercise, etc to stay healthy
they will need to protect their immune system

"There is currently no vaccine or cure for HIV or AIDS. The only known methods of prevention are based on avoiding exposure to the virus or, failing that, an antiretroviral treatment directly after a highly significant exposure, called post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).[81] PEP has a very demanding four week schedule of dosage. It also has very unpleasant side effects including diarrhea, malaise, nausea and fatigue.[89]

Current treatment for HIV infection consists of highly active antiretroviral therapy, or HAART.[90] This has been highly beneficial to many HIV-infected individuals since its introduction in 1996 when the protease inhibitor-based HAART initially became available.[7] Current optimal HAART options consist of combinations (or "cocktails")....."

What Mopar said about the drug cocktail.

They have been doing research for 15 years or so on making a vaccine against HIV, but HIV keeps changing it's outer structure, so researchers are having a problem making a vaccine to teach our immune system what to look for. (This is also why we need new flu vaccinations each year. The influenza virus changes its appearance each year. However, HIV changes at a MUCH faster pace.)

There is no cure for Aids, or HIV but i wish there where. I know there are around 20 really good meds on the market now, and researches feel that one day there will be a cure. I feel it is good to dontate any money to the hiv organizations, and talk with friends and family about being safe and using percautions when putting themselves at risk for the virus.
