Title: Magic Johnson - what happened?
Post by: Darren Avey on May 13, 2014, 08:22:31 AM
NBA isn't that huge over in the UK we now who Johnson, Jordan and a couple of others are but largely that's it anyway about 20 years back I recall a huge media drama over Magic announcing he had AIDS. Er whats happened since then? As hes still live and well and no one seems to mention the AIDS anymore? Did he magically cure himself?

According to Donald Sterling, Magic still has "these HIV". So there you go.

Magic Johnson is a name, not a description of my penis.

He's a closet gay. Got HIV from gay sex, not hetero. Has a horribly fat, ugly, queer, Shitso-esque son.

Currently he's trying to steal the Clippers (when he's not puffing on a penis).

He still has HIV but being filthy rich reportedly helps you to afford the complex drug cocktail that keeps you alive.  At least it used to.  Some people have said that the drugs aren't that expensive anymore and that anyone can do what Magic is doing.  I don't know if that's true or bullshit though.

They're not that expensive and many are covered by SSDI or other nonprofit group coverage. Like I said, people from the early '80s still around in relatively good health who have it. I'd rate it lower than cancer, ALS, lupus, etc.

Couldn't agree more.  Every game he would do some crazy shit that I'd never seen before.  Even during his brief comeback in 1996.  He was heavy and out of shape but he was still a bad muthafucka.  That ball fake he put on Latrell Spreewell was fucking insane.

It's been alleged that Magic Johnson faked having HIV because the higher ups in the black Hierarchy were extremely nervous about AIDs and it's effect on the black man. So they used Magic to help bring awareness to the virus. And in return, Magic was given multiple businesses and stock in major companies making him an extremely rich man...

The other theory is that Magic is a bisexual man who contracted HIV from male on male ass sex and spoke out on HIV/AIDS because he has it. And because he's basically a "gay" man, the gay media backed him up in everything he did including making sure he became a very wealthy man by holding his hand in every business venture he was given...

What pisses me off is I saw some doc, could've been a 30/30, where they showed MJ as being some hero for coming out as positive. However, previous to that people were protesting at a school at some kid who innocently contracted it from a transfusion. One made a mistake getting it and is a hero, another made no mistake and was villified and suffered massively.

I question if it was even a mistake. He's made more money retiring from basketball and entering business than he would've had he stayed in the NBA. It could be the best thing that ever happened to his career.

It's because they're ignorant like most people in their community. It's a little-discussed fact that while blacks commonly want racial fairness, they generally ostracize gays, people with HIV (straight ones too), or atheists. They're some of the most prejudiced people in America, mostly because of their garbage religion.

Ask yourself this question...Do people not want to do business with Magic now that he's come out as HIV? There are people that say he is dumb as rocks about business and what not and find it next to impossible for him to make the amount of money he's made in business without some mysterious force. This same force that's trying to steal the Clippers away from Sterling...Watch Magic on TNT doing broadcast's about basketball and he sounds like a half retard.

Any night of the week Jordan could drop 50 and shut the opposing teams best player down on D.

HIV has been easily managed with meds since the late 90s.  When on meds, very rarely does it develop into full blown AIDS.  When it does, it is usually because of something else, like crystal meth.  (Hard to remember to take your pills on schedule when you're on a 3-5 day binge.)  I have many friends who have been positive since the 80s and are doing fine today.

Magic Johnson is worth about a half a billion dollars.  He currently is one of the owners of the LA Dodgers.  http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/nba/magic-johnson-net-worth/

Yet.....I still believe Gretzky and the Oilers of the early 80's were the most explosive team ever in sports.

Fair enough. Honorable mention to Earl Campbell for those first few incredible years, and Kurt Warner later with the Rams. His offense moved almost as fast as Magic's Lakers. All fun as hell to watch.

Yes....Warner and "The Greatest Show on Turf" was something.

Do you remember the 1995 Nebraska Cornhuskers?

My daughter is a doctor with a lot of knowledge on AIDS/HIV drugs. She said in effect that the drugs have a lot of side effects. It's a myth that you pop a couple of pills like you are taking aspirins and suddenly you are healthy with no worries.

Imagine what the drugs must do to the liver and kidneys over the long haul.  If Magic lives to be in his 60's-70's-80's with no organ transplant or serious issues, I think it's safe to say he never had HIV...This guy was supposedly taking every experimental drug under the sun when he first came out. And he's never been deathly thin etc.

Viral load per ML of blood isn't detectable, so his WBC count is probably around normal, so he has never developed a secondary infection for wasting to occur.   On top of that they must have him Victor Richard's calorie diet.  Of course 250K yearly of European drugs help.

By the way they can more or less grow a new tooth in your gums in France, based on your genetic profile but high profit, never actually find a cure, American Medicine and Pharmacy won't touch a treatment that doesn't generation reoccurring income.

Americunts don't believe in absolute cures, which don't generate yearly revenue steams.  ::)

I've heard from some news stories about the FDA and their ineptitude of testing new drugs and approvals.  They say they are so backlogged that the big pharmas are able to use their money to push ahead other small drug companies in line for approvals and that there may be cures for cancer and AIDS already submitted and can take 5-10 years before the FDA ever even gets to them and evaluate the drugs.  Such a scam.

HIV has been easily managed with meds since the late 90s.  When on meds, very rarely does it develop into full blown AIDS.  When it does, it is usually because of something else, like crystal meth.  (Hard to remember to take your pills on schedule when you're on a 3-5 day binge.)  I have many friends who have been positive since the 80s and are doing fine today.

Magic Johnson is worth about a half a billion dollars.  He currently is one of the owners of the LA Dodgers.  http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/nba/magic-johnson-net-worth/


I've heard similar stories. Namely, that the prognosis for a 30-something male contracting HIV is far better than his counterpart who develops type II diabetes.

Who'da thunk it?

so why is the CDC now recommending more and more people who are still negative to take PrEP ?  Pre-Exposure Prophylactic.  One Truvada pill daily to prevent HIV infection.

Yes, some people have side effects from some of the HIV meds.  But there are enough different types of meds now that you simple find a combination that works for you.

in the late 90s many people were developing lipodystrophy from some HIV meds.  those meds are simply not used regularly any more.  HIV meds generally don't put any significant stress on your liver.  They can cause increases in triglycerides and cholesterol.  So, you monitor those and deal with it.

lol, humans have to fuck to reproduce
a tiny fraction will get that or other diseases doing it
what's the safest way to avoid it - take a guy and put him in a closet for 3 months, then get him tested?
right
I'm sure that's how works in 99% of countries
