The current approach of HIV drug maintenance can keep patients alive, at a cost of $300 - $2,500 PER PATIENT/PER MONTH *INDEFINITELY*(http://aids.about.com/od/hivmedicationfactsheets/a/drugcost.htm).
This profits pharmaceutical companies at approaching $10,000,000,000.00 per year (http://www.aidsmeds.com/articles/1667_11710.shtml).
Over the course of the next few decades, this will likely grow to exceed $1,000,000,000,000.00 per year.
A cure would instantly eliminate this entire profit margin.
If a cure comes, it will almost certainly come from the academic community. In fact, a cure might already exist.

Most cures work by either attacking bacteria or helping the body's immune system attack viruses. HI Virus attacks the immune system first making a cure difficult.
Answer #3:
HIV is highly mutatgenic, making it very difficult to create a specific pharmaceutical that is able to "kill" it.
-Answer #1 is conspiracy theory dribble.
