Earvin "Magic" Johnson and HIV
 

Hasn't it been like 15 years ago when he came out and said he had HIV?

:Oh crap

He is fullofshit

So what?

yep, when he got it i thought he won't be alive more than 8 years

and now it's 15 years and he seems to be ok ( although i havent seen or read about him for a while )

hes rich and invincible

they dont call him Magic for nothing

I hadn't seen him in years but I watched something on TV about Johnnie Cochrans funeral and he was there. He didn't look bad at all.

His medications probably cost $1 million dollars a year and would cost around $8 dollars a year in India. Anyway, most people have it for several years before they even find out and then stay alive years and years after that if they take the medicines avilable. Chances are, he might die from old age before he dies from AIDS.

My friends sister was born with HIV,,,, she's 23 now, so you can actually live a good live with.

I've seen him doing the 24 Hour Fitness commercials - he looks pretty healthy. And I thought just because you have HIV doesn't mean you have "AIDS". Doesn't it mean you're just a carrier of the virus and are not afflicted with the syndrome?

... my cousins neighbour's uncle's sister was born with it back in 56' and passed it on to all of her children, on of them is the mum of your friends sister.

I think its BS, I think him coming out years ago saying he had it was just an awareness stunt or for some sort of sympothy publicity for the cause to raise more more and alot more money. Also the lobyiest on capital hill prob throw millions his way because he is a strong personality fighting for the cause. This guy gets paid millions of dollars per year also to speak to schools, and organizations all across the US and other countries about the Virus or HIV. He is an Icon, I don't think he realy has it anyway and if he does have it he should have kicked the bucket by now, because he's claimed to have it now for like 20 years. I know of people that have died of HIV and usually once they find out they have it, they are good for maby 10 years.. Most people die within 5 or show signs of having the virus..

Look up the facts on HIV, its simply AIDS..there is no getting HIV then living.. You simply die from it. And now there is a new Strand of the Virus the CDC is trying to research at the present time which has the ability to kill you within a month or months of getting it.. Lets face it... Strap on a rubber you will save your life..

Your attempt at humor failed miserably.

Well, it improves your chances.

Condoms are useless, they take away pleasure!

long live Magic!

Wow, I'm glad she's ok.

Bro the medications are proven to prolong life.

And? Since when was there a rule you had to die within 3 years or something? :1orglaugh

The dumbest post I've seen in some time. Yea, he made it all up for the money and sympathy. :1orglaugh

Yep that is a dumb post.
So much bull it there I can't be fucked pulling it apart

That's why there will never be a cure for AIDS :2 cents: :2 cents: :2 cents:

Check out www.aliveandwell.org

I was reading somewhere that he spends over $1,000 per DAY on meds alone.

with all the starbucks he owns,thats chump change

nevermind starbucks look at all the property he owns!

thanks

a breath of commonsense amidst a sea of ignorance

hehe, Magic Johnson with HIV is healthier than half the gfy posters... that man will outlive me, I'm betting.

Then & Now: Magic Johnson i found this article from magic johnson dated Wednesday, January 19, 2005

good article.. is the only person who had survive such disease that long?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I hear there is a disease out now that your dick just blows up inside the pussy.



Fuck you Eddie Murphy...yeah I stole your joke.

i doubt,but i wont be surprised if he wasnt sick first place and did it as a part of campaign to make the world aware of the problem.

Earvin's favorite pick-up line prior to contracting HIV:

I've got Magic in my Johnson...

ADG Webmaster

Time to thin the herd.......

Congrats..you are the leading contender for this weeks title of "Mr/Miss I don't know a fucking thing about what I'm talking about!"

From the CNN article:

"At that time [I was diagnosed HIV positive], we had only one [drug]: AZT," he said. "Now we have 22. The reason I am doing well is because of the drugs.

"I am following my doctor's program, and I am making sure I get exercise and a proper diet," he continued. "It's been mind over matter, too. I always felt I was going to beat HIV. I had to put that in my mind to live and breathe that every day."

celebrities don't die from these silly diseases

fuck how did rock hudson die then, cancer? :1orglaugh

I dont want to sound like a downer but fuck it I will.....correct me if I am wrong.....but condoms are not always 100% effective. :2 cents:

AIDS and tsunamis are just a couple of ways Mother Nature attempts to relieve the burden :glugglug

i really admire his fighting spirit to live and outsmart death.
surely, he has the financial capability to buy those medicines.
just imagine those HIV people in Africa, if only they have access
to these miracle medicines. talking about saving lives

Or how about Amanda Blake or Elizabeth Glaser or Rudolf Nureyev or Liberace or Freddy Mercury or Merritt Butrick or John Holmes or Dack Rambo or Anthony Perkins or Ofra Haza or Aurthur Ashe or Makgatho Mandela or Jim Henson or Robert Reed... ones I can remember ... want more?,:(

yeah, drug companies could provide the previous generation medicines for free, but they dont do it while turning billions in profits.

What about United Nations starting a worldwide campaign and shoulder the expenses instead? this is not a difficult task for Anan to spearhead. just a pity situation for those dying every year

Medicine will help them lead good lives, and with his money, he won´t have a problem.

Shame the US doesn't throw a fraction of the money it spends on regime changes and other politics to make life-saving medicine available to those who can't afford it:(.

You don't know much do you. Some AIDS patient can live for YEARS even decades. The guy who used to be on Too Close for Comfort sitcom and was teh center square on Hollwood Squares in the 90's has had HIV since 1985 and he's still healthy.
