  Hey, awesome question! Finding a cure for HIV/AIDS is tough because the virus is super sneaky. It uses reverse transcription to convert its RNA into DNA, which then sneaks into your cells’ DNA, hiding there like an invader. This makes it hard to wipe out completely. Plus, HIV mutates fast, dodging treatments, and attacks the immune system directly, weakening the body’s defenses. Scientists are working on vaccines and gene therapies, but that reverse transcription trick makes it a tough puzzle.
