HIV & CAA Class 1 Medical

Hello

I am thinking of training to become an airline pilot. However I been HIV positive for 3 years but not on any medication yet.
Is my chances of obtaining a Class 1 medication from the CAA nil?

I did email an AME he told me as far as he aware being HIV automatically disqualifies me but he did tell me to ring the CAA confirm this.

I know the FAA in the US now allow waivers for HIV positive pilots but is there anything similar in the UK?

Any info on this issue would be great
