What will be the reason for no cure to HIV AIDS

What will be the reason for no cure to HIV AIDS?
There is a theory about the beginning of HIV virus which says: government officials deliberately started(fabricated) it in laboratories and spreed it in to the population for some reason. Clearly there is no cure for AIDS until now,Then do you think for humans who are exploring the universe luck the ability to discover a cure or the theory was right? Or any idea?

There is no lasting cure for HIV/AIDs because the disease mutates itself very quickly, meaning that there is no cure for it, because as soon as they create a cure for one strain, it will have mutated, making the treatment ineffective. When a disease mutates, it changes it's DNA so that it become a different type of the same disease, immune to medication that might have worked on previous strains. Another reason is because AIDs damages the immune system, meaning that the body's natural defences cannot fight off the disease. Basically, they can find a cure, but as the disease changes often, the cure will not last. It's like trying to find a cure for a cold. You probably get a cold every year, but it will be slightly different each time, otherwise they would make a vaccine against it. This is because the cold virus mutates itself frequently. Hope you understood my explanation and I wasn't too confusing

Well, HIV is like an anti-biotic produced by Gaia to get rid of viruses, thats us. Other immune systems includes volcanoes, earthquakes, hurricanes etc. But we're winning the battle.
3 :
well, hiv is a retrovirus. basically that causes it to be able to mutate easily. and since it does that, you can't make a medicine to cure it all. once a medicine works and then the virus will kinda die down but sooner or later it mutates and becomes resistant against the drug.
4 :
It spread too fast for it to have been done naturally?so some say.some say there is a body from 40 years ago in storage and it has the aids virus and some say it is their intention to decrease the surface population by any means.
5 :
There is a theory that HIV and AIDS does not exist at all, but all symptoms are signs of other diseases, mostly non-viral ones. So you cannot get cure for desease that does not exist or which has not a causative agent .
6 :
There is no good scientific reason to believe that there will never be a cure for HIV/AIDS. It will just be difficult. It is more likely that there will be a vaccine to prevent it rather than a total cure for those who already have it. Unfortunately, the vaccine trials have not worked out well. The theory about a government creating HIV is total hogwash. It comes from people who know nothing about the virus.
7 :
HIV becomes part of the person's DNA, it essentially becomes part of the person. Cure? I doubt it, but I've been wrong before.
8 :
one of ur answer was told what exactly i want to say but i want to say that people who are iliterated and who were no idea of spreading of hiv are majority in villages.ofcourse some are in citiesalso .they dont use any safety precautions before doing their sex.and not only this while giving injection to any ne if it already given to anybody who is suffering frm hiv .coming to hiv it changes its dna and structure .for example if u seen under electron microsope it will seen in ome type after nanoseconds it willchange its total nature .so it is difficult to find medicine to it becoz the reasearchers are not able to trace the correct structure of it .so the main thing to do is we bring awareness in villagers in india

There are two classes of drugs that work by slightly different mechanisms to destroy HIV & usually a variety or combination of drugs are given. Zidovudine & Lamivudine (Epivar ) are RTIs ( RT Inhibitors) Nelfinavir & Amprenavir are protease inhibitors use of the two types together is commonly referred to as HAART (highly active antiretroviral therapy) These are used to treat AIDS...there may be more recent meds in use though so someone else may be able to provide more info.
