A cure is very difficult because of how the virus lives in your body.  Even if you get it down to undetectable levels, it hides in places where no drugs can get to it.  There are spots in the body where nothing can get to because that's how your body works.  If you were infected recently and went on medications in the US, your medications would cost around $3000 to $4000, but nobody pays that amount.  Your insurance company does and if you aren't insured, you send a paper to the drug company and they send you the medication for free.  Even if you're insured, the drug companies pay your copay and send it to you for free.  Doctors appointments, copays are covered by the Ryan White funding.  Testing, whatever the insurance doesn't cover, again, paid for in full.  Side effects from medications?  Doesn't happen any more.  They've refined the medications to the point where the only downside is that the tablets are really large.  Most people take one or two tablets once a day and become undetectable and their CD4 count goes back to nearly normal in a few months.  If you are infected at the age of 20 years old and live in the US and start on medication quickly and respond to it and stay compliant with therapy, your life expectancy is - 82 years.  How do I know? I'm living with it, someone I love very dearly is infected, but it's not the death sentence it used to be.  There's plenty of hope.

The standard way to measure is from the pubic bone to the tip of the penis while hard.  I used to think I was small because porn stars seemed so much bigger, but I'm 7 inches exactly.  I have seen quite a few naked guys in my day and they are mostly around 5 or 6 inches.  More guys with bigger ones show them off more, so it's just that guys with teeny weenies don't brag about them and show them off is all.
