Question
is there a cure for aids?
what is the worst possible disease you could get?
Dear symptoms:
There is no cure for AIDS. There are medications which can help control the symptoms, but once infected, a person is always infected with HIV, the virus which causes AIDS. As for "the worst possible disease you could get" that is pretty subjective. The action of HIV disease is that it makes one susceptible to many other diseases that our body could otherwise combat.
Peace.
