Are scientists in the world closer to finding a cure for HIV/AIDS

Are scientists in the world closer to finding a cure for HIV/AIDS?
If not, what are the chances of living a long productive life for carriers of HIV/AIDS in Africa?

HIV/AIDS is very treatable these days... the problem in Africa is money and education. The people there don't realise how HIV is transmitted and after they have it, they don't have the money to treat it. As for a cure, I'm not aware of anything close to a cure being discovered :(

Recently, it was reported that there were some sort of breakthrough in finding similarities at the molecular level. If this is true, this could narrow the research further. The AIDS virus constantly changes, thus no one agent can cure it. This is why so many AIDS patients take so many different pills to help prolong their life. As far as Africa is concerned, they seem to live long productive lives in their standard of living. Africa has come so far in combating AIDS through knowledge. The one thing that can't seem to be overcome, is the raping of virgins by infected men with AIDS.

Hopefully not. Gotta be able to kill off the dumb ones who continue to use dirty needles for drugs or people who are too dumb to use protection when they have sex.
