The reason bleach is effective at killing bacteria is because it is very basic, it has a PH of 11.7 on the PH table which goes from 0 to 14. Lower is acidic, higher is basic, each number is an order of magnitude difference from the previous number. Water is neutral and in the middle at 7. all living things have a bounds within this range that they can survive in. This is true with temperatures as well, think about how humans don't survive well at 200 degrees or -200 degrees, but somewhere in the middle there is a range in which we can live. This is true for PH levels as well. To answer your question, if hypothetically humans could thrive with PH levels much higher than those of bacteria, have blood with a PH of say 11.7 for example, and bacteria were not able to survive in this environment, then the bacteria dies.
However, HIV is a virus not a bacteria. Here is a good explanation of the difference http://cubanology.com/Articles/Virus_vs_Bacteria.htm
You are definitely on to the right track, finding an environment in which humans can live and viruses and dangerous bacteria cannot may lead to breakthrough ideas and possible solutions. However, I think if humans had a wider PH bounds than HIV, we would be using that weakness of the virus against it already. Human blood has a PH of 7.35-7.45, I don't know what PH level it would take to kill a person or HIV for that matter, but even if a PH difference could be used, its not likely that bleach would be the optimal chemical to do this.
Hope that helps,

Methamphetamine has sever harmful effects on anyone, ADD or NOT ADD. The chemicals alone used in methamphetamine should be enough to tell anyone its harmful, and if you have to ask yourself or someone else what or how harmful it is, that should tell you right there that you know methamphetamine has harmful effects. If you are even thinking about using it, DON'T, NOT EVEN ONCE!!!!!! Methamphetamine will take even the kindest, smartest person and tear them down to nothing, hurting their friends and most importantly their families!!!!!!

What is a safe chlorine for swimming?
Someone/something changed the original question and that is probably why it has not been answered.Safe levels for chlorine are 1.5 ppm to about 5.0 ppm. of free chlorine. You should have a test kit that will give you free chlorine readings as opposed to just a chlorine residual. Free chlorine is what sanitizes the pool water. If you can smell a chlorine odor coming from your pool then you do not have enough chlorine in the water.K
