An "artificial kidney" which destroys all the killer t cells in an hiv infected person's bloodstream and removes the detritus?

Supposing you have frozen precursor T cells for the person. You use a saline wash step to dilute the plasma surrounding the cells, filtering the saline back in a hydraulic circle. While the cells are visible, use laser backscatter to get a visual impression of each cell in an electric eye with multiple micromirror array sensors to detect position, motion, size, and colors within a 3 vector grid. Use ultraviolet radiation to kill the T cells. The person will have no T cells at all for a few hours, but should be safe for that long.

Killer T cells grown from precursor cells then replace entire T cell part of the immune system. Person is free of HIV infection. The missing parts are 1) freezing precursor cells for each person prior to infection 2) design of the filter- the underlying technologies- backscattering representation and artificial filtration, and highly accurate radiation therapy based on cross streams exist. Trouble is practice and research doctors in USA are very different in what they care about.
