What if we change the blood of the person who is having HIV +ve?!
Question: IF we change the blood of person who is suffered from AIDS! Can he survive or the virus be removed from his body(serum
)?
Answers:
I wouldn't think so.. because they would have to remove every single blood cell before putting the new blood in

Doesn't work. The cure for AIDS hasn't been discovered yet.
No the virus will still be in the tissue and organs. If it were as easy as a blood transplant I think someone would have figured that out. But keep trying, I am sure Yahoo, would love to have the cure to AIDS be discovered on their website.
I'm going to keep this on my watch list. I'll be interested to see the "real" replies if someone actually knows anything about it. I've oftened wondered the same thing but figured someone must have already tried it at some point.

P.S. When people have certain forms of leukemia at times the cure is to remove all of their blood and replace it and the bone marrow by a donor. So I don't buy a couple of the answers I've already seen.
The virus exists in the blood cell forming totipotent cells withing the bone marrows as well as the virus has extensive existence in other parts of the body.
Total blood replacemebt wont really help since the virus will again come back from other areas of the body and flourish in blood.
There is no way to get every last bit of HIV+ blood out and replace it with fresh blood. The human body is also built to reject foriegn things being added to it. It is likely the person's body might reject the new blood, and they would probably die.
I already asked that question to the doctors at work. I asked "What if you completely remove all the blood from the person's body and then replace it with someone else's blood, like with a Diallysis machine?"
problems he gave me with that:
1. There's already not enough blood out there for that. There are millions(?) more HIV patients than Lukemia patients.
2. It would be impossible to remove ALL the blood from the body. Blood is viscous and would leave alot of residue behind. The patient would die of lack of oxygen to the brain long before you even got close. Also, like one ov the other answerers stated, viruses embed themselves and lay dormant in your nerves, organ cells (especially glands that produce cells, like testicals, lymphnodes, etc.), and bone marrow (where blood is produced to begin with).
3. If you used a diallysis machine, you would only mix the blood. The Lukemia removal process is I think done several times for this same reason, in order to dilute to zero.
4. If there was some way to replace all the blood, the person would go into severe shock and die, because when blood is introduced, there's a process of acceptance.
they did that already it didnt worked
