Summary from the TLDR newsletter

The life expectancy of someone in the US infected with HIV is currently about the same as the rest of the population. This is largely due to antiretroviral therapy, a daily treatment regimen that decreases the level of HIV in a person's blood to the point it's no longer detectable or transmittable. There have been a handful of people over the last couple of decades that have been able to reach undetectable HIV levels while off treatment, essentially meaning they've been cured of the disease. New universal cures are now on the horizon.
