It's called being on the down low

Probably when Kareem was out and Magic had to play down low for a stretch.

Does anyone believe Magic contracted HIV from heterosexual contact with females as he claimed in 1991


That is practically impossible. Like statistically 0%

It could have been from a girl who got it from dude who was secretly gay.. That was more common then especially in L.A.

If he was gay we would have known by now. His son is gay AF.

For decades, "public health" advocates and media carefully worded their messaging to imply that your risk was equivalent regardless of whether you were having straight or gay sex. The truth is not like that at all. The risk to people getting infected by having vaginal sex with an infected person seems to be somewhere between 4 and 8 one-hundredths of a percent. This is several orders of magnitude away from the risk encountered in anal sex.

Still, statistically almost a 0% percent chance a male can get it from a female

Related: As someone who grew up in the 80s, I was terribly afraid of three things as I got older.

Homosexuals have always gotten outsized recognition and attention due to their media presence.

It is tiring and repetitive.

I personally don't believe he ever had HIV. I think his wife found out about how many women he was fricking and found a way to guarantee no woman would ever touch him again.

This man has been living with HIV for over 30 years. Name another person -- I don't care how rich -- that contracted HIV in the 90s and is still with us. I can't think of anyone.

Many people live with HIV without ever developing AIDS.

Now, yes. In the 90s? Most people that publicly came out as HIV positive then didn't make it to the turn of the century.

Doesn't really matter to me. I just don't think he ever had it. It's my harmless conspiracy theory.

He slept with hookers from all over the world, so ,yes, he likely got it from hetero sex.


The chances of a man contracting from a woman with hiv during vaginal sex are astronomically low. You basically have to win the aids lottery. Or lose in this case.
