Can photon.lites kill any bacteria and viruses if yes maybe it canbe the cure for HIV???

There is what is known as the germicidal line at 254 nm (this is in the UV) This disrupts the DNA of most living organisms.





But as other posters mentioned, it would affect a human host's cells as well.





Still, I've had similar ideas, and I think there may be ways to approach this.

Photons have to be of a specific energy ( wavelength) to kill bacteria typically in the UV range, think of it as giving bacteria a serious sunburn.





But the aids virus lives in the human body, this much energy will more likely kill the person before it kills all the HIV virus.





Good thinking though
Reply:the electromagnetic energy would indeed kill bacteria and viruses, but it would also kill the tissue on the person you are trying to cure. so, in order to irradicate the disease, you would have to burn the person alive.
Reply:bacteria and virus are 2 different things. you have to tune the light to get it to work as you said, and that's complicated.
