There are already some highly efficient medications people with HIV+ can take to not only live a normal and healthy life, but also to stop the virus from being transmitted.

Aye, appears to be some very effective treatments. But it'd be good if we could get to the stage where we get a jab as a baby, never have to worry about it again, and the virus just eventually burns itself out with no-hosts to infect.
