Am I understanding this correctly or could one cure maybe help more than one strain?

You're confusing vaccine with cure.
If HIV didn't mutate so fast it would be easier to treat, but you don't cure viruses, your body fights them off or they become dormant/breakout or you just always have them. There's no 'cure.'
