The world has been experiencing different pandemics for a long time and one of this longstanding pandemic is the HIV pandemic.
All HIV positive peoples can be cured by a bone marrow transplant. That is not even the issue, you just need a donor that is a good match for and also carries the mutation that makes them naturally immune to an HIV infection. This isn't as hard as it sounds.
On average there should be 1 donor with an adequate match for you in a group of 30-60 thousand randomly chosen people and the mutation that grants you Immunity to HIV occurs at about people 1% of (Caucasian) population. That means all you need is to collect the data for 3--6 million donors and you can cure anyone. If just USA, EU, UK Canada, Japan, South Korea and few others pooled their resources together it wouldn't even be an issue.
Peoples don't go for this treatment because allogenic bone marrow transplant is the single worst procedure out there.
Allogenic bone marrow transplant has a death toll of about 20%, it takes six months to recover enough to resume something close to normal life but you are likely to be permanently weakened by the ordeal.
To speak nothing about how feel when your body is blasted with enough radiation and flushed with toxic chemicals to destroy you own bone marrow. Its chemo ,but unlike your regular chemo, it needs to be dosed sufficiently to penetrate all the way into the bone.
You have 80% chance to live through the week, plus another month to get new bone marrow up and running.
This is if all goes well, if there are no complications and you don't suffer from a pulmonary infection from something you thought was completely benign even a limited immune system easily deals with various spores, but you go without for a week or so. People die of that or are left with other permanent injuries. There is a chance for survival too.
