I think this will have the effect you're asking for, just maybe not in the timeframe you want.

If we can effectively make HIV non-transmissible then it shouldn't take very long to wipe the virus out (or at least come very close) and the stigma will no longer apply.

The biggest issue if we can make it non-transmissible (which we are already to that point for first-world serodiscordant couples, to a large degree) is getting it to the third world, where not only is there no money for this, but there's some pretty vile things going on that worsen the spread.
