BUT...if he stopped taking the daily pill, the virus would return.

What I'm interested in is the daily pill to PREVENT you from catching HIV. And Phoenix brought up the newest vaccine that has been developed by scientists in Canada to PREVENT you from catching HIV.

ADG is posting...well, I'm not sure WHAT exactly he is going on about with pictures and his attacking other GFY'ers for no reason.

But that's what he does.

So to answer your question: Magic Johnson isn't technically "cured". But he also has no traces of HIV in his system.
I guess the definition of "cured" would be that you don't need the daily pill to keep the HIV from coming back.
