Virus's have a habit of evolving, they are a life form that can adapt and become resistant to medications and various cocktails. I believe it when they say that still don't fully understand the virus and there is no known cure for HIV.
They are still studying people who seem to be resistant to the virus to fully understand why and how, and how to use that in developing a cure...BUT will those that are resistant to the virus always be resistant to the virus as it mutates to ensure it's own survival?
You just have to remember when someone says HIV/AIDS they are not technically talking about a single virus, they are talking about many virus's that have mutated from the original virus and have developed their own characteristics. Thats what makes the illness so difficult to treat at times.
