You are actually correct but actually it wasn't a cure but a vaccine for HIV that was said to only work for minorities. The problem, amongst many, in the study, was that only a handful of minorities were even enrolled in the clinical trials making the generalizability of their results questionable.

Also, what Sistergreek AKA_Monet stated is true. There is too much money tied up in HIV for pharmaceutical companies, scientists, researchers to ever admit to, let alone, market a "cure." Hell, it pays my salary, not to mention for my education
