We've spent a fortune on AIDS research in the past 30 years. Why wouldn't we expect to have treatments?

We could do so much more research for all diseases. Personally, in 1985, I would have expected cancer, AIDS, and many other major disease to all be cured by now. It's actually depressing how much work remains.
