What's odd is how they haven't found a cure for it yet.. from what I've read, it's not ever-changing like the common cold. I'm no bio-engineer or anything, but why is it so easy to cure ONE virus, but not another, especially one that's been studied for nearly 20+ years?

You can't
cure viruses.
You never have the same cold or other virus twice. Your body builds a resistance to one particular variant.
People keep confusing that. You merely build up an immunity. The problem is, it attacks the very system that is meant to protect you.
When you then get
other virus infections, that immune system kicks off and then the HIV infection can assume a full blown AIDS status.
