Not in near future: Millions of dollars are currently being spent at various worldwide academic institutions to come up with cure for hiv. To date...No success has been achieved but hope must not be lost.

No: The virus becomes a permanent part of the genome of cells that we can't get rid of. We can manage the infection so that people with the virus can live normal lives.
