Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory may have developed a virus that fights the HIV virus. According to the article, 'It took Adam Arkin and David Schaffer just $200,000 and a grad student to develop a potential treatment for AIDS. And that scares them.'"

But honestly, I think the first people to be against this are going to be the fundies who say it will lead to a new era of fast women, loose cars...

ya, antibiotics can work by injecting a more or less dead strain of a virus into your blood, and then your antibodies build up a resistance to that strain/virus

Problem is, terrorists, the group most likely to exploit bioweapons, rarely have a lab, lots of materials, very good scientists, and lots of time.

Some countries might, but we can bomb them.

Not really, flu shots and other immunization shots give dead or messed up samples of the pathogen, thus giving rise to immune cells that are able to recognise and kill cells affected by the pathogen, or kill the pathogen itself (like bacteria). The HIV cure actually binds to the HIV virus, making it impossible to affect the immune cells.
