==As a counterexample, look at someone like Magic Johnson who is HIV+, but lives a lifestyle of diet, medication

Last I heard, Magic Johnson discontinued his AIDS chemotherapy drugs over a decade ago.

==You are quite correct that living a life of drug abuse and promiscuous homosexual orgies (with all of the attendant STDs and other health issues) is bad for one’s immune system. But that lifestyle, even if it leads to getting certain AIDS-like diseases, is not the cause of AIDS. It can simply lead to health situations that are similar to AIDS

Again, at this stage of the game, scientists can’t tell the difference. Moreover, the AIDS establishment has put the kibash on all attempts by scientists to resolve the issue. And if they can’t tell the difference, then they can’t be sure what’s really causing AIDS.

Last I heard, Magic Johnson discontinued his AIDS chemotherapy drugs over a decade ago.

That would explain why Magic Johnson sponsors almost a dozen AIDS clinics.

The Los Angeles-based AIDS Healthcare Foundation on Monday will open in Jacksonville, Fla., an Earvin "Magic" Johnson Jr. Clinic for HIV/AIDS, which will offer HIV testing, medical care and social services, the Florida Times-Union reports. Although this will be the first Magic Johnson clinic in Florida, AHF operates 10 such clinics in California and a jointly operated medical office and pharmacy in New York. AHF President Michael Weinstein said that the Jacksonville site was chosen "because of need in the area," as the Florida Health Department says that one in 156 Floridians are HIV-positive. "Jacksonville is representative of a lot of medium-type cities where there is limited access to care," Weinstein said, adding that AHF expects 200 patients to use the clinic in its first year. The clinic, open to all patients regardless of insurance coverage or ability to pay, will offer initial HIV testing; disease monitoring, including radiology and laboratory tests; and treatment for HIV/AIDS, with the option of participating in clinical research trials. In addition, the clinic will provide social services such as "public benefits counseling, mental health counseling and 24-hour access to medical advice." The goal of the clinic, which uses Magic Johnson's name because he is a "symbol of hope and success in AIDS treatment," is to see patients within 48 hours of first contact, as the average wait time is currently one to three months. "That's like telling someone who has just been diagnosed with cancer to wait," Robert Catalla, the clinic's medical director, said, adding, "That's unacceptable" (Skidmore, Florida Times-Union, 7/24).

Has anyone mentioned that in addition to practicing medicine without a license, you are also a shameless, criminally insane liar?

You've never provided any evidence of this. The only article I remember you pointing to as evidence only dealt with an incident where Magic stopped taking his medications during a cruise he went on with his wife, in order to avoid nausea. But your claim that he stopped taking his AIDS drugs a decade ago is pure wishful thinking on your part. Other than the handful of people who seem to have a natural immunity to HIV/AIDS, an HIV+ person who stops taking their medication can expect to be dead in a very short time.

Again, at this stage of the game, scientists can’t tell the difference. Moreover, the AIDS establishment has put the kibash on all attempts by scientists to resolve the issue. And if they can’t tell the difference, then they can’t be sure what’s really causing AIDS.

Telling the difference is quite easy, statistically. Look at a population of people who are HIV+ and compare them to a similar population (in terms of age, lifestyle, other illnesses etc.) of people without the disease. The HIV+ group is going to die a lot sooner than the control group. There are homosexuals who survived the promiscuous bath-house lifestyle of the 80's because they dodged a bullet and didn't get infected with HIV. But virtually every homosexual who lived that lifestyle and got infected is dead now.

Again, you're assuming no one else has ever thought about this, but the evidence is overwhelming that if you take two people who are otherwise similar demographically, and one of them becomes infected with HIV, that person is looking at an earlier death.
