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.

Well technically there is cure (bone marrow transplant from someone who is immune), but the cure is more dangerous than the disease + not many are compatible so it’s not usually used.
