during our complex/long-term semester we had a presentation from an AIDS nurse and couple of people who had been living with that virus for 10+ years or so. One of them was extremely proactive about traveling around and trying experimental treatments, one of them was "extra-corporeal hyperthermia", which involved removing the blood, heating it up (I forget how much, like 120F or something like that), and then allowing it to cool before returning it to the body. It didn't work.
