Thank you for the little history lesson. I never know what I’m going to learn in a derpibooru comment section!

Perhaps black-body radiation - an object at around 11000K-12000K would peak in the sterilizing frequencies of UV, and also produce quite a bit of visible light, and technically X-ray and gamma (but probably not enough to matter? I’m not sure how to calculate or even estimate that)
@Scp-3125
It surely would. Also, in an infected person, HIV isn’t just in the blood, otherwise–as with a number of blood diseases–a blood transfusion would cure it. The virus is also hiding in cerebrospinal fluid, bone marrow, lymph fluid, even saliva.
There were experiments in the 70s and 80s with surgically implanting a fiberoptic cable into cancerous tumors, to see whether high intensity laser light pumped into them through the fiberoptic could kill them. And the cancer cells in proximity to the emissions died, but it wasn’t an efficient or thoroughly effective process. Even in the 1950s physicians would try to implant pellets of radium or other highly radioactive materials into tumors that weren’t otherwise operable. Sometimes it killed the tumor and sometimes it didn’t. We have better ways of using radiation to treat cancer now.
it’s not a high enough frequency to disrupt dna by itself. it can damage other molecules though, and create free radicals. at worst you would be getting a sunburn from the inside. which would still kill you, but hey at least it’s not cancer!
UV light is a type of radiation. Injecting yourself with radioactive materials is never a good idea.
I wonder if it would be possible to put UV-light emitting particles in the bloodstream to kill HIV. Would that cause damage to the blood vessels and blood?
Edited
UV (supposedly) can kill the COVID19 virus too, depending on intensity, atmospheric conditions, length of exposure, etc.
Weird fact: some viruses, like HIV, are so vulnerable to UV light that ordinary office fluorescent lighting destroys them in seconds. Labs that study HIV have to have special lighting.
