The history of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is have been very interesting, a virus born in the poorest continent, but a  lot mixture of political with people have conversing ideologies. If the HIV would could have been contained in that moment, will would things be different? We will never going to know it. Most people were aroused very concerned when they knew that this virus could infect everyone, not only homosexuals.

In the beginning, life expectancy for people with HIV (HIV+) was very short, less than one year. Within a year, too so much knowledge of the HIV biology of HIV have has been elicited and different drugs have been tasted tested and used to stop the HIV replicating and prolonging to prolong the life expectancy of those with HIV+. In this At the moment, HIV+ can have a normal life with certain limitations. 

Currently, these powerful drugs can eliminate and eradicate the HIV from HIV+. Are Will we find the cure? Not at this the moment, the challenge is to eliminate cells where HIV have has been integrated. HIV is a retrovirus, retroviruses have the capability to integrate their genome in a cellular host (mainly hematopoietic cells). The challenge now is find infected cells, distinguish them and eliminated them from the body.
