Never does the thought or any concern enter his head over who he could have possibly transmitted this deadly virus to. How many people died because of his self-centeredness? Did he donate any blood in the interim before learning of his illness. Was one of the recipients an unfortunate victim to his reckless conduct?
I really HATE these demons. They use their privileged disease victimhood as a bludgeon against society at every turn, turning US into the villains, when they are the only culpable party.
So glad we have HIPA.
Well when you stick your 3rd leg into an area where another man voids his bowels, diseases are bound to happen.
Where’s that Seinfeld “That’s a shame” gif.
Giving to the AIDS foundation is a big NO
Also, what has this guy done to safeguard others in the nearly 40 years since he learned he had HIV? Any risky behavior at any time?
Eventually, he, like everyone else, will have a real out of body experience. I pray he will be prepared.
Unrepentant about his behavior which caused him to get the disease. I cannot find words. Law must be passed to execute these people.
Maybe when he found out, but when he got it he was having an in the body experience. Yikes!
Is he famous? Do I need to pay attention to him?
Are we supposed to know who this guy Larry Davis is? Because I don’t have a clue.
Rock Hudson was a homosexual
This guy was a homosexual and should not have expected a neg result
Yes, there is a big difference between victim and volunteer, n'est ce pas.
Interesting choice of words A guy I know from high school and college once posted something on FB, about how “AIDS touched his familly.” The A in AIDS is for “acquired.” AIDS touched your family when your sister started having unprotected sex with high risk partners.
“What is your greatest regret?
Not finishing my studies at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts.”
Apparently no regrets over the behavior that caused him severe health problems?
LOL It’s really weird but I’ve had that “oh-how-I-wish-I-was-out-of-body” experience more than a couple of times - not just with HIV results but other things as well. Like the time I thought I was pregnant and went to the Rite-Aid to get a test and I didn’t know which aisle to look on. I got dizzy and had to sit down. The pharmacist saw me sitting there gasping and asked if he could help me. He was very nice but I could tell he was going to have a good laugh about it once he was back in the pill-mixing room.
And as with that particular instance, each time I have thought I had caught something bad from being profligate and abysmally inconsiderate of the feelings of others - it was negative.
I am truly surprised, as I used to pick cigarette butts out of beers at parties just to wet my whistle and well I have worked in hospital settings and saw innocent babies doomed to a lifetime of illness with herpes or something else because their stupid parents had been careless and/or ignorant.
Never have sex is my advice. It’s always a waste of time unless you are rich and you want to have kids. Don’t even think about it. Use birth control - or be sterilized - in case some rich person’s kid becomes interested in you.
When Magic Johnson revealed his HIV diagnosis, and there was a lot of chatter about the thousands of women he had sex with, I wondered how many of them were infected by Magic. They are apparently non-persons as no one seemed the least concerned.
Of course there are at least several ways to get AIDS. One is through transfusions and blood products. Arthur Ashe and countless people with hemophilia for example. There are accidental needle sticks with medical staff (one of our nurses contracted it that way).There are women who don't know their husband/boyfriend is doing it with guys.
I can feel enormous sympathy for such people
But fags and junkies? No sympathy whatsoever!
This guy was diagnosed Oct 1985 - and he’s still alive in 2023. He really beat the odds
In those early years, if memory serves, mortality rate was over 50%.
He should thank God for sparing him.
How Do You Get or Transmit HIV?
You can only get HIV by coming into direct contact with certain body fluids from a person with HIV who has a detectable viral load. These fluids are:
Blood
Semen (cum) and pre-seminal fluid (pre-cum)
Rectal fluids
Vaginal fluids
Breast milk
For transmission to occur, the HIV in these fluids must get into the bloodstream of an HIV-negative person through a mucous membrane (found in the rectum, vagina, mouth, or tip of the penis), through open cuts or sores, or by direct injection (from a needle or syringe).

Did this guy end up with Rock Hudson’s estate?
There are those out there who actively seek the HIV virus. They’re called bug-chasers. Sick people. But we knew that already. I first heard the term back in the late 1980s.
