why is it so hard to cure HIV? did we found cure for HIV?  

American Gene Technologies (AGT) has a spinoff company called Addimmune that is focused on developing a cure for HIV. AGT's HIV project is now called Addimmune
HIV is difficult to cure because it has a latent viral reservoir. During the virus's life cycle, HIV integrates into the host's DNA. A subset of integrated HIV provirus remains transcriptionally silent, producing neither viral proteins nor viral progeny, until reactivation by various physiologic stimuli.
Another major obstacle to an HIV cure is viral latency. Latency is when a virus infects a cell but does not immediately begin.
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a combination of medicines that can control HIV. However, antiretroviral therapy is not a cure for HIV because HIV can hide its instructions inside of cells where drugs cannot reach it.
