Strategy to kill HIV virus.

First the idea is design nano robots. Which are intelligent enough to detect the right species i.e virus. Then make these robots such that they get sticked to the virus and either it destroys the RNA or simply disables its function by modifying some of the nucleotides. Solution seems very simple no? Then wheres the problem?
The problem is design the nanorobot and teach it how to detect the virus and disable them. Now solution to these problem can be given in two parts.
1. The nano robot. Making it is very tough. But I think it will soon be made. They already claim to make a nano piston. just a few molecules.
2. Now the biggest problem is teacching it. It may require a lot of memory. Then here comes the Quantum computing. Qubits. The quantum bits. nothing but the spin of an electron. When the spin is Up say 1 when its down say 0. Or may be if the probability of finding an electron is more than half then 1 when its less than 0.5 its 0. Anway it doesnt matter whether its first or second. Now the problem is making the Qubit. Once its made you design the rest.
3. Destroying the RNA. Its pretty tough rite now for me to write aboutit. but one thing is that comes into handy is molceular docking. Yes. It requires Biologist, Chemist, Mechanical Engineer( for the docking ) Last but not least a Physicist!

Another way I saw it in New Scientist! ( BTW the above idea is mine. ) The thing is first to kill the virus we have to rip them from the WBC.( White blood cells ) For this I forgot the name. But What it does is it rips of the virus from WBC. Now use the retroviral drugs to kill them.
