The problem with HIV is that it destroys precisely the part of the body that is responsible for protecting you--your immune system.

Unlike with other viruses that the body is able to deal with, the HIV virus attacks cells called T-helper or CD4 cells which play a large role in your immune response. If these cells are destroyed (which is what HIV does to them), the body cannot fight. This will in time lead to the appearance of opportunistic infections, which is an indication that HIV infection has progressed to AIDS.

You are not able to get rid of it. It's a disease that kills your immune system. There is no cure, but you can take medications to increase years of living and to decrease symptoms.
