HIV doesn't infect B-cells. You can't just transfuse T-cells because they actually "learn" to recognize invaders into the body. For example an HIV patient who loses almost all their T-cells and then recovers because of treatment will have a lot of t-cells but they all know how to combat the same thing. If they lost all the t-cells to combat chicken pox virus - their immune system will react like they never had it even though their t-cell count is high.

They need to try each and every speck of whatever on the face of the earth to find a cure.
One night, I dreamed that a cure was found in the substance called BELLADONNA (from the night-shade plant).
I contacted a researcher at the Univ. of Alabama at B'ham about my dream and he was not ever interested!

AIDS infiltrates and kills T-cells by injecting its DNA inside, replicating itself and then destroying the T-cell as a result, so injecting more of them won't do much other than give the virus more factories to grow inside.
