I mean, correct me if I’m wrong, but is there not widely available medication that now effectively Rids one of detectable levels of HIV? Meaning, you can live a normal life without it turning into aids?

I’m not remotely in the medical field and have no understanding of chemistry or biology and don’t even know much about HIV. From an outsider who just reads the news, it seems like we’re fairly close to curing HIV? Seems like there have been a lot of breakthroughs in the last 3, 5 ish years.

Does anyone have an objective estimate as to how close we are scientifically?
