Is Trimune helpful in curing HIV infection?

Question

I am an HIV patient. I am taking Trimune 30 mg twice daily. Is there any chance of getting cured with this medicine? Or do I need a vaccine for protection? At what stage have medicine trials for AIDS reached?

As yet there are no medicines that can cure HIV infection. Available drugs only suppress the virus. Stopping treatment with anti-retrovirals will only make the virus bounce back. No vaccines are yet available.
