Hi camelllia, Actually there's already a cure for HIV which was happened to a man from Germany who undergo a bone marrow transplant. This process was successful and his infection was cured according to the researchers. The bone marrow transplant was happened in 2007. The bone marrow transplant had a benefit of wiping out HIV infection. After three years, the patient undergo with another test and still he is free from HIV infection. And this suggest that he is cured, according to the researcher Jerome Zack, a researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles who studies HIV infection.
