Well, since AIDS is a deffiency of white blood cells, and leukemia is too many, why cant we just give AIDS paitents leukiemai and vice/versa?

Because Leukemia patients don't have as much of an abundance of white blood cells as they do too few red blood cells.

Besides, HIV doesn't kill WBCs (AIDS is a condition, not a disease). HIV targets the T-cells (helper) that tell WBCs what to target.

Hmm, that's like taking somebody who is suffering from hypothermia and throwing gasoline on them and lighting. Two wrongs don't make a right ;0
