Does this mean that there is a cure, but it only works if taken shortly after exposure (and for a whole month)?

It's a post-exposure treatment, don't think that qualifies as a cure. Same thing with the rabies vaccine, it'll only save your life if given before any symptoms occur (and the disease has entrenched itself in the body).
Not a cure, as that implies recovery from a full infection. It's preventing your body from becoming fully infected.
