No.
HIV is a retrovirus that infects its host's DNA lysogenically (inserting its own genome into the host genome after reverse-transcripting into DNA). Therefore, it stays in your cells' DNA forever.
However, you can suppress HIV symptoms and keep them at bay with many of the "HIV cocktails" (combinations of protease inhibitors, etc. that prevent the virus from replicating).

No HIV antibodies and no HIV means same in HIV screening immunology test?
No, your body takes a certain amount of time to produce antibodies to counter act a pathogen. Therefore you can have HIV but not have antibodies. This difference in time is called the 'Window Period' which averages 28 days, but can be as long as 3 months.
In infected person's HIV antibodies are found in the?
Antibodies are found in the blood from the HIV.
Is a person with HIV antibodies a host of HIV?
If you have HIV antibodies then you are infected with HIV. The only exception to this is if you are a newborn. Newborns carry mothers IgG antibodies to HIV and the half life of IgG is approximately 21 days.
How does whiteblood cells relate to hiv measure?
An HIV Test is called Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Blood is actually tested for HIV antibodies.1. You have a plate that binds HIV antibodies.2. You have detection antibodies that bind to the HIV antibodies that are already afixed on the plate3. The detection antibodies are linked to an enzyme which can produce some kind of signal to show that HIV antibodies exist. For example fluorescent light.
How do drs know when you have HIV?
They will perform a blood test for the HIV antibodies to determine if you are HIV infected.
What does seropositive mean and how is a person tested for HIV?
When a person contracts HIV, their body releases certain antibodies to fight that infection. As such, if those antibodies are found in a person, then that individual has HIV. These antibodies can be detected through a simple examination of oral fluids or a blood sample. If you are found to have these antibodies, then you are seropositive.

What antibodies does the HIV test for and why?
The HIV test tests for Human Immunodeficiency virus by using two different kinds of test; the ELISA and the Wester Blot tests. If there are HIV antibodies present, the a person would be diagnosed as having HIV.
You had an HIV test 7 weeks after intercourse and came back negative is this test reliable?
Yes the test is reliable but, most HIV tests are antibody tests that measure the antibodies your body makes against HIV. It can take some time for the immune system to produce enough antibodies for the antibody test to detect, and this time period can vary from person to person. This time period is commonly referred to as the "window period." Most people will develop detectable antibodies within 2 to 8 weeks (the average is 25 days). Even so, there is a chance that some individuals will take longer to develop detectable antibodies. Therefore, if the initial negative HIV test was conducted within the first 3 months after possible exposure, repeat testing should be considered >3 months after the exposure occurred to account for the possibility of a false-negative result. Ninety-seven percent of persons will develop antibodies in the first 3 months following the time of their infection. In very rare cases, it can take up to 6 months to develop antibodies to HIV.
What does it mean if HIV antibodies are detected by the western blot analysis?
It means that the person has HIV.
What does hiv blood test reveal?
The standard HIV test, whether a rapid test or one sent to the laboratory, will detect the presence of antibodies to the HIV virus. When the body becomes infected, it will attempt to fight the infection by developing antibodies. Therefore, if a test finds antibodies, it has in essence indicated that the HIV virus is also present.
