Yeah I was going to say the reason there hasn’t been significant progress on a HIV virus isn’t because it isn’t possible but because for the longest time the bodies that could provide funding for the research thought HIV killing ‘the gays’ was a desirable outcome…
not to mention being undetectable, untransmisable, uninfectable and no symptoms even when poz on PrEP - although not technically a “cure” is still pretty damn close
I mean there’s been so much research towards AIDS that it’s not the death sentence that it was in the 80s.
However, there probably would have been even more progress had Reagan not stifled progress

Maybe 30 years ago.
But in the last 20 years there has been a lot of of funding towards prevention and researching a cure.
