Answer

No but if you have aids you have to take a lot of different kind of meds every day and no one has found a cure for it.

Answer


No and it can be fatal. I don't know how long you can live with it.

Answer


No, not that anyone knows. I disagree i think there is a cure but the government wont tell anyone what it is because they like controlling the population and so many people has the virus but if everyone got the cure than there would be a whole lot more people alive today. More money to be spent. More diseases. No more room for children. Not so far.

Answer

In order to answer this, it is important that we understand the difference between HIV and AIDS.

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is an incurable virus that can cause a life-threatening condition called AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome).
There is no immediate prospect of HIV becoming curable. AIDS is a syndrome (a collection of symptoms / illnesses) caused by the most advanced stages of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infection.

AIDS is not an illness as such, but a person is said to have developed AIDS when their immune system is so badly damaged by HIV that it can no longer fight off a range of defined opportunistic infections. There is no known cure for HIV; so, although there are combinations of potent drugs that can help to keep the virus under control, none of them can completely get rid of the infection. In terms of CDC reporting, AIDS is an incurable condition .. BUT in that context AIDS simply means that a patient is HIV-positive AND has at some point either had a CD4 count below 200 per µL of blood, or has suffered from one of twenty or so AIDS-defining illnesses (it certainly does not mean that they are currently ill - and is therefore, in isolation, meaningless in terms of conveying a patient's current condition). With the exception of HIV itself, ALL the conditions / illnesses that lead to an AIDS diagnosis are potentially curable .. so whether or not you regard the condition of AIDS as being curable will very much depend on the exact definition you are employing, to what purpose the definition is being put and what country you are diagnosed in (the CDC definition is purely there for reporting purposes and is by no means a universal definition - indeed, very many countries no longer even use the term AIDS).

As regards people who claim to have been cured of HIV (or know of people who have been cured of HIV), it is worth noting that common HIV tests actually test for the presence of HIV antibodies - rather than the presence if the virus itself. Even if miraculously cured (and a miracle is what it would be, because there are no reliably documented cases of anyone ever having been cured), they would still have HIV antibodies and would therefore still test positive for HIV. Viral load testing can also be used to measure the concentration of HIV in a person's blood. Some people are under the misguided impression that an "undetectable" viral load test result means that they have been cured and that there is no HIV circulation in their blood - when in fact they still have HIV and are still infectious, but have simply achieved the treatment target of less than 50 copies of HIV per µL of blood (the minimum level at which standard tests can detect the virus with any degree of reliability).

NOTE: Although HIV can be treated, it should be stressed that the drugs that are used are only fully effective in 80% of patients, are extremely expensive, all have unwelcome side effects, rely on a better than 95% accuracy in taking the correct doses at the correct time, are lifestyle limiting and still rely on you adopting a commonsense approach to keeping healthy. The drugs are not a quick fix solution and are not an excuse for complacency.

No cure as of yet


Although there is no known cure for HIV and no vaccine exists, recent advancements in HIV treatment can delay the onset of AIDS and improve longevity. YEs there is. If you go to uspto.gov. Then type in patent search number 5676977. This is the cure, why no one will bring it up? At this time, no. But there's a ton of research working on it as we speak. Also, therapy has improved to the point that you can control the symptoms for a very long time if you assiduously follow the protocol.

Alternative Answer


Possibly yes, if you consider alternative medicine like Nick Nolte and Magic Johnson and others.

1984 U.S. Patent #4,647,773 Method of continuous production of retroviruses (HTLV-III) from patients with AIDS and pre-AIDS (Dr. Robert C. Gallo, et. al.)
1990 U.S. Patent #5,188,738 Alternating current supplied electrically conductive method and system for treatment of blood and / or synthetic fluids with electrical forces. (Dr. Steven Kaali, et. al.)
1997 U.S. Patent #5,676,977 Method of curing AIDS with tetrasilver tetroxide molecular crystal devices (Marvin S. Antelman, Israel)

A person treated using the 1997 patented one-time injection claims to be HIV-free several years afterwards.

Starting in 2003 Dr. Boyd Ed Graves has petitioned the US courts and US congress to institute funding for clinical trials. Microsoft's Bill Gates was notified that the HIV AIDS cure had been tested on subjects and known to work.

According to Dr. Robert C. Beck, DSc. Physics, in 1998 slightly over 2 thousands AIDS patients in Southern California having undergone "The Beck Protocol" that is derived from the Dr. Steven Kaali MD method were pronounced as having PCR tests indicating that they had viral loads indistinguishable from zero on the measurement equipment used to conduct such testing.

Magic Johnson, a long known HIV AIDS patient, has undergone unconventional therapies (in either Germany or Cuba or India or Mexico) such as medical grade intravenous (IV) ozone treatments and has survived many years (supposedly with the disease). (See Dr. Robert Rowen MD Describes Benefits of Ozone Therapy).

An intracellular compound that is a mixture of DMSO, chlorine dioxide, citric acid, and other ingredients is being discussed in alternative medicine blogs as having a profound immune system enhancing effect. The mixture ingredients have been changed slightly over the past few years, but has come to be known as the Overnight Cancer Cure.

Originally from the USA, a German HIV AIDS patient who also had leukemia was cured of AIDS when the German doctor treating his leukemia irradiated his bone marrow, then genetically screened marrow and stem cell donors for a genetic resistance / immunity to HIV. After the bone marrow and stem cell transplant was completed, the patient's HIV AIDS disappeared.

Answer

There is no cure for AIDS at the moment. If you take pills every day you can keep the HIV "virus load" very low and you can probably remain healthy.
