Suggestion to kill HIV

Anybody knows why we can't kill the HIV virus by decreasing the whole body temperature? Since the virus is so fragile and dependent to the temperature, a medical method has to exist to control the body temperature...
maybe it's the wrong forum to post such question.. but do you know guys if some researches done about that?

Outside the body HIV is p_ss weak and fragile but inside the body it goes to town on our t-cells and attacks with a vengence.ARV's try to stop the attack and have been doing wonders if treatment is started early but a retrovirus is extremely hard to destroy.In 30 years scientists haven't been able to destroy HIV.
