One of the problems is that HIV stitches it's DNA into the cells DNA. The result is a latent infection reservoir that can last decades.

the crazy thing is that's not even the main part of the "viral reservoir."
even when medicated -- for decades -- viral particles hang out safely in the body, often in the lymph nodes. as soon as the medication stops, they bounce back.
