Basketball Hall Famer Magic Johnson opens up about his fight with HIV and launches a new in-home HIV test.
It does make sense though, about Magic… To think his wife never got it from him, before he “found out” and the fact that she was seemingly fine with what would mean he was cheating and now about to suffer, after having found out… she stayed!! Nobody would stand such a betrayal, Makes sense that he never even had it to begin with..
Very sad; never though one of my idols would resort to this extremist conspiracy theory. As a gay man in my fifties, I’ve been around since the advent of AIDS and saw many go over time, yet some survivors look perfectly healthy, never lost weight, take contemporary med regimes and are doing quite well – don’t believe the stereotypes. I’ve always been thin, and of course, people think I’m positive (which I am not), but they don’t think that of my friends who are. Careful about stereotyping.
If u want inaccurate info….listen to all his you tube articles….that guy was hilarious…made up theories in his own mind…and I wonder why he say he didn’t hang out with entertainers….because of the bs he talked bout them….he respected for being apart of the civil rights movement but the guy was just running his mouth…remember he was a comedian….he had to keep his money moving some kind of way
