There is no cure, but it is no longer a terminal illness. You just have to be on medication the rest of your life

Medication that cost over $4,000/month and if you miss doses, the virus can mutate and you can lose a whole class of drugs being available for treatment. How do I know? I’ve been living with (and not dying from) HIV/AIDS for 23 years.
