2. I'm not sure "curable" is the right word... but it IS true people can live

reasonably healthy lives while still having the HIV virus, but it's not like they get "cured" as if they just had an infection or a cold. They take medications for the rest of their natural lives to keep the HIV in check. And a small percentage reach levels where the HIV is undetectable...but medications continue even then.
