We have tests, we have treatment, we have cultural awareness and more common preventative sex practices in at risk individuals, we have huge public health apparatus domestically and internationally to trace and track cases, we have drugs that keep HIV from turning into AIDS, we have drugs to "prep before you have sex" to prevent transmission. I think using the word AIDS and pandemic in the same sentence is a bit alarmist at this point. However I also think to say it's "cured" is also a step too far. It is a deadly communicable disease that we have made exponential strides in managing over the last 3 decades

Who is "we" when you mention "domestically"?
