Did Magic ever have HIV

[dmbetc]

Dear god.

[dmbmuskie]

True story. I was misdiagnosed with diabetes when I was a kid, but it turns out I didn't have diabetes.

[gocubsgo3822]

There is just no way.

I don't understand how bad medicine is mistaken for HIV

Magic never had Aids. He has HIV and that's a huge difference.

It's possible he passed it on to his wife. I'm not sure they'd want to make it public knowledge. Magic had a lot of money and got the best medical treatment. That's how he's alive.

Yeah, I was diagnosed as ADD when I was young, apparently my inattention in class made the fool think that - even though the truth was that I was just bored. They tried to put me on whatever miracle drug was around then ritalin maybe.. I never did have ADD though.

Still, whether or not Magic had the hiv? Well file that question in my who gives a damn folder.

A lot of things could cause your blood sugar to be high. Diabetics have high blood sugar, but high blood sugar doesn't always mean you're diabetic.

The presence of the HIV virus means you have it.

If its all a lie I think gocubs theory is more plausible. I'm sure Magic got a second opinion before retiring in his prime. If it was a mistake by the doctors why wouldn't Magic come clean?

I like how Muskie's serious but Jonathan isn't.

Doc: You have HIV
Magic: Ok, I'll retire and live and tell the world.

Why the hell would Magic not get a second opinion on a life threatening disease like HIV? It's not strep throat.

No way he had HIV

this is almost as funny as the conspiracy that the AIDS virus was being passed to the African American community through fried chicken.

EDIT - n/r

I am being serious. The government needed a friendly face. So they got a multiple MVP and Champion whose career was almost done. No chance he has it

exactly. people were just really ignorant to the disease back then. even when it was announced some tv anchors said he had aids

Dont think it is is sick. He is just wayyyy tooooo healthy after 20 years.

John has hit a new low.

Actually, I shoeless Paul McCartney killed the real Magic Johnson years ago. Some guy who looks like him has been pretending to be Johnson ever since.

Did they miscount the amount of diabetes antibodies in your blood?

It's fucking sick my friend to say its a government conspiracy.

Read this article,medievally the part where since the early 90's the average life expectancy of people diagnosed is 24 years:

Well he is getting awful close. And the government does a lot of spooky shit.

Also that is the life expectancy now. Not in 1990

Close but not there, and he's not even close to what's considered average in relation to what care he can afford and what he has access to.

And read the article.

And I'm out of here, cause nothing on this earth pisses me off more than conspiracy theories and theorists. Especially in relation to something like this.

Sorry man, but fuck
