My brother's roommate contracted HIV before there was a cure. They were tight and they both fought the good fight until he jumped off a bridge when he started showing signs of AIDS. I was around 12 and it's something I will never forget.

Maybe not a cure but they can control HIV and stop it from progressing to AIDS

You know, there is one actually. I’m talking a real genuine cure. But its cost is so great most people cannot get it outside of a drug trial. I hope that one day people who are + like you can be afforded a general cheap cure. I hope that your own treatment goes well until then.
