How do we kill viruses such as aids?

we can kill bacteria with sprays and animals with a weapon or in case of a bug just step on it - but viruses seem indestructable - whyis this so

First, A VIRUS IS NOT A LIVING THING, therefore you can not kill it. Virus are only fragments of DNA which infect healthy cells and instruct them to perform strange tasks. What we may do is kill the cells (our own) that have been contaminated by the malicious dna. Each reacts to different anti-bodies, we could not find one to fight aids, so for now JUST USE A CONDOM.

Generally you can. But depends on where the virus is (inside the body itself on on the public toilet sit..

Disinfectants should generally be distinguished from antibiotics that destroy microorganisms within the body, and from antiseptics, which destroy microorganisms on living tissue. Sanitisers are high level disinfectants that kill over 99.9% of a target microorganism in applicable situations. Very few disinfectants and sanitisers can sterilise (the complete elimination of all microorganisms), and those that can depend entirely on their mode of application. Bacterial endospores are most resistant to disinfectants, however some viruses and bacteria also possess some tolerance.

By far the most cost-effective home disinfectant is common chlorine bleach which is effective against most common pathogens, including such difficult organisms as HIV.

HOWEVER,

Virus latency is the ability of a pathogenic virus to lie dormant within a cell (latent infection). Due to such, the virus actually hides in the human cell. If you want to kill the virus, you have to kill the human cells and ultimately the human himself...

Remain for life - HIV virus can remain dormant for months - years - and can be reactivated by immune response, other infections, chemical or physical agents eg: UV light.

u cant , once you got aids u got it for life thats why u should always use protection !!

We stop it by being responsible and stop the spread of it. If we can ever educate people enough to stop the spread of it, it will die out.

umm because it's a virus and they are not destroyable. they can only be repressed or vaccinated against.

there is a 'cleaner' that hospitals that will kill aids in like 30 sec of contact.. sooo... but this wont help people itll kill them... be great for some people if it did

Thats why all the billions are spent into researching how to combat a microscopic enemy.
To date we can only help it on there way
A cold is a virus and we can only treat the symptoms not the virus
You can burn it but you will definately kill the host as well. Thats why they are trying to find the technology to do it.
This is also why germ warfare is potentially so dangerous
