Fuck trying to re engineer the virus/pathogen, fuck trying to develop medicines and treatments that kill them. Here is what you do - Find a suicide host. Any virus that is depended on fucking up your cells by highjacking could easily be eliminated this way. Picture this: Bob gets AIDS - Bob get injected with millions of CD4-like cells - These cells allow the AIDS virus to enter and then self destruct or have no internal functions the virus can highjack to reproduce - effectively becoming a virus trap.
Someone get developing.

bump for curing AIDS

Should check out RNA interference. This imho will be the cure for most health complaints within the next 10-20 years.

They have a cure for aids many years ago just like cancer but why would they cure something that makes them a lot of money?

OP's idea won't work as a cure anymore than HAART does.
There will still be a population of latently HIV-1 infected cells, e.g. memory CD4+ T cells and hematopoietic progenitor cells, as well as HIV-1 being able to infect monocyte-macrophage type cells which can cross the blood-brain barrier and reside in the immunoprivileged central nervous system. There are methods being investigated to target in vivo HIV-1 viral reservoirs (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867414009933) but it will be many years before these treatments become viable in humans, assuming the virus can be fully eradicated.

Yeah op obviously doesn't know shit. "AIDS virus" gave that away.
