"Should we cure cancer?" "Nah, it will reduce the effectiveness of our nuclear weapons." "Oh, alright then."

If this drug pans out, then _millions_ of lives will be saved. If a more resistant virus came around (and if I'm correct, HIV doesn't mutate alll that much) then we can treat that, in turn, but it's a big 'if'. Odds are such a version of the virus is around now, but as we have no treatment there's nothing to show it immune to.
