Jokes aside, it is actually incredible. HIV used to be a death sentence. Modern medicine is amazing.

Motherfricker probably doesnt have hiv.

Was just some weird smokescreen for something else.

I was in middle school when I thought Magic was about to die.

Good for him.

I remember when news came out of him having HIV, I fugured he'd be dead within a year.

False. Poor people can get HAART for free and be essentially disease free

Seemed much older than 32. Felt like the guy had been playing forever when he quit. I know he came into the league young, but I just though he was much older.

Magic was the first celebrity to supposedly get HIV from sex and not be a known homo, and not shrivel up and die immediately. I think it was an attempt to normalize it and a smokescreen for something. It makes no sense

Those rumors went up after the announcement. And understandably so. AIDS is a gay disease after all. Except for blood transfusions and needle sharers, every person who got AIDS was gay. It was originally called GRID (Gay-Related Immunodeficiency)

That was one of the first things Magic said on the day of the announcement. Watch the presser on yt. "I want people to know you don't have to be gay to get it." Even the clean cut beloved Magic could get it

I think that was the whole point. Propaganda and destigmatization. And a generation of schooling later, kids aren't even aware that AIDS is totally a gay disease and they're not really at risk by fricking pussy
