Actually, no sexual stimulants = no massive fast-track orgies. That level of sexual activity is impossible without immunosuppressive chemicals.

Totally irrelevant, if we follow your logic. You are still basically arguing that unprotected sex with multiple male partners is harmless vis a vis AIDS. Whether or not the promiscuous behavior is caused by the drug use, it's omly the drugs that are the problem, not the orgies.

Yes, it is. Without condoms, they leave themselves open to God-knows how many other opportunistic infections.

That's a different discussion, since your view is that AIDS is not caused by sexual behavior.

Again, not true. It caused quite a stir at the time.

It's not true that AIDS-infected people are living longer lives now than in the 80's and 90's? That's a laughable claim, I have to tell you.

And btw, Magic’s wife let it slip he terminated taking his AIDS chemotherapy drugs long ago.

Source, please.

==Source, please (re: Magic Johnson/AIDS Chemotherapy)

Didn’t you ever wonder why Magic never came to look like a chemotherapy patient? At any rate, I can’t find the article where his wife first let the cat out of the bag. She told everyone he was having adverse reactions and decided not to take his chemo anymore. And for a while after, Magic tried to dodge follow up questions about his wife’s statement. But after being peppered with never ending questions, Magic finally broke down and started admitting he was off his AIDS chemo drugs. Here is just one example:

“Citing doctor-patient confidentiality, Mellman will not discuss Johnson’s treatment or current condition. But in an interview with TIME last week, Johnson acknowledged that he has in the past taken AZT, the antiviral drug typically administered when a person’s helper T-cell count drops to 500. (See following story.) Johnson said that he is no longer taking AZT and that his T-cell count is above 500, “but I don’t tell exactly what it is because then I’ll have everybody talking about it.” His health, he says, “has been wonderful. My doctor told me to watch out for things like deteriorating skills. Nothing so far.” Johnson’s added weight is due not to drug treatments, as some have speculated, but to a healthier diet and to muscle mass from his regular exercise sessions.”
