Doing his best to make sure countless others have the opportunity to live with HIV?
Makes you wonder what he’s doing that the other people aren’t. Why is he so healthy still?
Q: How did Magic Johnson catch aids?
A: Too much Kareem in his coffee.
Yeah, I know it’s dated. But it still cracks me up.
Odd how the poster child for AIDS is lionized, even while his lies about how he became infected (there has never been a documented female to healthy male via hetero-sex) are supporting the disinformation that avoid the truth about how AIDS is invariably sexually transmitted (receptive anal sex).
Really? How about being happy that the numbers just go down, period? Jeez, why does it always, all the time, every time, freaking come down to skin color?
“While Johnson mostly remembers a feeling of confidence derived from the unflinching support of his wife, Cookie, on the day of his announcement”
....makes me wonder how he got infected...
Has medical science ever explained how he survived so long? 20 years ago HIV was a death sentence.
“His courage that day, along with two subsequent decades of vibrant living, forever altered attitudes about the virus and its effects.”
What a bunch of BS. Real courage that day would have been to have described the lifestyle where he acquired the virus. Unlike poor Arthur Ashe, Johnson wasn’t an innocent victim.
Eric Cartman already discovered Magic’s cure:

I was once in an Episcopal congregation with a rather nice priest. He lived in a house across from the church...with his mother.
After I left that church, I heard that his mother died, and then I heard he’d moved.
It wasn’t until about 10 years later that heard where he’d moved to...San Francisco. I was also informed that he’d died...of AIDS.
Looking back and knowing what I know now...he made it really hard for anyone to guess he was a homosexual. He never flaunted it. His mannerisms didn’t scream “gay”, and I never heard a whisper from anyone in the congregation in criticism or suspicion.
