They've found the cure!
The first drug shown to prevent HIV infection won the endorsement of a panel of federal advisers yesterday, clearing the way for a landmark approval in the 30-year fight against the virus that causes AIDS. In a series of votes, a Food and Drug Administration advisory panel recommended approval of the daily pill Truvada for healthy people who are at high risk of contracting HIV, including gay and bisexual men and heterosexual couples with one HIV-positive partner. The FDA is not required to follow the panel's advice, though it usually does. A final decision is expected in five weeks. So after all the work done on AIDS, why isn't there a cure for cancer? Cancer has been around way longer than AIDS, and can also be fatal. It can be put into remission, but there is still no cure. And no, it's not Chuck Norris's tears.
