Is it true that people with HIV can cure themselves by raising their body temperature?
This idea is purely a figment of the imagination.
Some people may find it easy to say that HIV is very afraid of heat:
HIV can be inactivated (meaning the virus loses its infectivity) by heating at 55°C for 30min, 60-70°C for 10min, and above 75°C for 5min.
Well, 55 degrees Celsius is not a very high temperature, as long as the body temperature rises to such a high temperature, then all the HIV will be killed, so a virus that almost threatens the survival of human beings has been conquered by people!
Obviously, if this matter were so simple, this virus would not be a threat to human existence.
You can't just change your temperature.
You don't think 55 degrees Celsius is too hot, but that's just you. But your body doesn't think so at all. In fact, although you can stand in a cold wind of several degrees below zero for a while without any clothes on, and also be able to steam in a sauna of 60 or 70 degrees Celsius, it doesn't mean that your body itself can withstand these low/high temperatures.
In fact, our bodies are much more fragile than we think, especially the bio-chemical reactions in key areas within the body, which can be very demanding on the environment, too high or too low, too acidic or too alkaline environment can stop these reactions, or even cause irreversible damage to the organs.
In order to maintain homeostasis in the internal environment, the human body has complex regulatory mechanisms to maintain this balance, so even if you are standing in a 0°C environment, or a 60-70°C environment, it doesn't mean that your body's internal temperature is that temperature.
Temperature changes are fine, but you have to die first.
Forget 55°C, as long as your internal temperature is not in the 31°C-41°C range, then you're basically in a dangerous state.
So you can heat yourself up to 55 degrees Celsius in all sorts of ways, steamed, braised, fried, boiled, and so on, and that's no problem. And as expected, the HIV virus starts to lose its activity.
But you have to realize that once your body temperature gets higher than 41°C, then all sorts of biochemical reactions in your body stop and the proteins in your organs start to mutate, and the damage is irreversible for even a very short period of time, much less if it's going to last 30 minutes. So the general picture is that you die faster than HIV.
In fact, this kind of seven-injury fist type of treatment is not no, for example, the treatment of cancer chemotherapy, radiotherapy, are through a variety of ways to kill the cancerous cells and normal cells in a brain, but that is based on strict control of the scope of treatment, do not let the treatment of the premise of threatening your life, if no matter what, the whole body of the cancerous cells, the healthy cells are killed, so naturally, you are no more cancer, completely! No more, but you are also no more, so what's the use?
Thanks for the invite!
AIDS patients, do not get sick and steam yourself blindly, it can lead to irreversible organ damage or even premature death.
There are two main lines of evidence to refute this erroneous approach:
1, people are a thermostatic animal, has a strong thermoregulation system, that is, the body temperature will not easily change with the change of environmental temperature.
When dealing with high temperatures, the human body can effectively dissipate heat and regulate it through sweating, accelerated respiration and other functions in order to maintain a constant temperature environment in the body.
Take the sauna that so many people like, the sauna thermometer shows 70 to 80 degrees, why can people still bear it? Here involves a body temperature problem. For example, you use greater than 37 degrees of water directly in the bath, this temperature of the water is in direct contact with your skin, you will feel the heat. And although the sauna steam temperature is very high, the actual steam is thinner, the contact area with the skin is smaller, and you will not feel a temperature of 70 or 80 degrees.
Under the body's thermoregulation, when the sauna, the body surface temperature will also reach 37 to 38 degrees at most, which can be tolerated by the human body.
But this does not mean that in this high-temperature environment is safe, the human body's sweating, breathing, blood circulation and other organs that can participate in cooling, with the increase in sustained high temperature time and weakened, or even lost. So in this kind of sustained high temperature, you have not waited for the "ripe" has occurred a variety of dysfunctions, and will have life-threatening.
2, HIV virus is very sensitive to heat, at 56 ℃ in 30 minutes will be inactive.
Although HIV is heat sensitive, it requires 56 degrees to kill. Through the above analysis, we can know that the human body will not reach the temperature of 56 degrees, this temperature is enough to make your body's proteins denatured, already "cooked".
That's why people with AIDS should be on aggressive antiretroviral treatment! It is possible to live like a normal person and get a long life! Do not make attempts at extreme heat!

To put it another way. A normal person's body temperature is probably between 36.8_37.2. However, various living habits put people in an unhealthy or sub-healthy state, and many people's body temperature is lower than this value. You can take a thermometer to measure your temperature a few times more 。。。。 Especially for women,, the lower the body temperature, the lower the immunity, too low the person is finished. If a person has been maintaining a relatively normal body temperature, occasionally a little higher, I think it is an excellent state 。。。。
