That's not what they do, but they make a huge difference in life expectancy. The fact that you think because we don't have a vaccine now, we will never have a vaccine is very ignorant.
Your talking about medications designed to treat the symptoms of the HIV virus, not the virus itself. VERY different thing. The HIV virus breaks down the immune system. AIDS victims then die of some other sickness because their immune system is shot. Scientist have thought they were close to a cure to AIDS many times, and every time they get close, the virus mutates in such a way that it still does the same thing, but the treatment being developed no longer touches it. My opinion is that a cure to cancer will never be found, that doesnt make me ignorant. They may end up developing something that allowes us to cure the symptoms, but again, this isnt the same thing as a cure to the disease. Just to show me how wrong i am though, why dont you give me some examples of a VIRUS that has been cured through medicine. For every one you can provide, i will provide 10.
