I mean the average person has 5 quarts of blood that's like 20 pints of the same blood type, surely hospitals have that, right?

Besides being impractical, it wouldn't work. The virus infects lymphocytes and these are in the bone marrow and thymus as well as circulating in the blood.

the blood in hospitals are not used for that reason the blood is used in a medical emergancy or in a surgery. the blood can also be used for people who can not clot there own blood. it is not used to treat aids. there is drugs that can expand the life of a aids patient. but removeing there blood and putting new blood into there body would waste the blood. seen how they got aids in the first place by sex or sharing drugs. they would probley do it again.

Who is going to donate the 5 quarts and how long will it take for donating and receiving blood?
Who is going to decide which person receives the 5 quarts?
What about the other body fluids??

You will die if all the blood is taken out of you!!!!!! You have to have continuous blood in your body. as soon as contaminated blood touches noncontaminated blood it gets contaminated. It would be a never ending cycle of contamination. I am sorry but I can't believe I just had to answer this question. OMG

it would be impossible to get all the blood out that is in our organs and blood vessels, and how would you out the new blood in time so that the person would die after you too out the old blood. it would all be way to impossible.
