Drug cocktails have been so successful in squashing viral loads to undetectable levels that many people do assume it's a cure or something like it. Also, because it is less common in all but a few specific communities to hear about folk (at least in the States) dying in high numbers or having repeated personal encounters with loved ones dying or seeing the proverbial gay man walking down the street with thrush, sarcomas and a sunken face, people don't "see" AIDS anymore like thy used to... and out of sight, out of mind. 
[Edited 3/16/09 20:25pm] precisely. thankfully, the cocktails do make it managable, but it's still quite a physical burden. while my viral load is undetectable, my t-cell count ain't goin anywhere fast. in over a year i have managed to get it up to what is about 1/7th of a normal person. it's keeping me decent, but there still is no cure. there isn't even a vaccination  | |
