How come there is an AIDS cure with a US patent?

How did this one get a patent when all the other false cures do not?

same reason why a woman in i think it was mexico after being diagnosed with aids, was treated with many different drugs to no avail and finally stopped taking medications and said she has been fine with no symptoms for 15 years and even has unprotected sex with her husband and he is negative.

Patents are not granted on engineering correctness. You can patent something that has no proof of actually working.

It's FDA approval where you need to prove it works.
