It's been 5 years but I rememeber being in a 2 hour talk (I used to work in vaccines) about the difficulty of coming up with a vaccine for HIV, never mind a cure. It sounded then like it was a long long way off, and we're still only just getting much more simplistic diseases vaccine preventable (malaria is what I'm thinking of, the new vaccine is only marginally effective, which may be enough to cut the cycle of transmission... or may not).
