Human Beings are incentivized to cure HIV. Real people are experiencing real pain and problem to the tune of millions of persons a year. It is among the most stigmatized long-term illnesses on the planet.

Maybe BigCo Evil Pharma isn't "incentivized" to cure HIV; but hundreds of universities including those outside the United States, are. The US does not hold a monopoly on medical advancement.

HIV is *hard* to cure. That's why it's not been cured yet.
