bein HIV positive it didnt mean you have AIDS, that happens when your defense cells get to a little number and you get sick, (pneumonia, kaposi, lynphoma, diarrea, etc) Magic is usin an antiviral tratment it stops the progression of the disease and keeps him wit a high count of inmune cells, eventually if the disease progres (because the virus mutates and grow again) he will have AIDS

Yeah, it was HIV, she was pretty promiscuous and used a lot of drugs, and she said the doctors didn't know what was wrong with her.

No, there is no cure for HIV/AIDS. Ignore the idiots comment above, because if there was a cure for HIV/AIDS, the first company to have it patented would make so much money like never. Treating terminally sick people is expensive and the companies sure do make good money but they have to share the market, and the money anyone would get from actually curing the disease is huge.

HIV can be transsmited only by blood or seminal fluids. Hope u understand this. If u eat semen or vagunal fluid u can get it

As Alabama Girl says above, the only case was David Acer. Unfortunately he died of AIDS before the cause of transmission could be truly established. However, considering how difficult it is to transmit HIV from dentist to patient, and considering that (as I remember) a couple of the patients were having negligible treatment. it has been hypothesised that he deliberately infected them. Sort of a revenge on the world. There was a book written about it (don't know the name).

Naturopathic doctors have been treating HIV with natural compounds for years the only reason you don't hear more about them is that they are suppressed by the FDA who are in cahoots with the big drug companies only because they can't \npatent a natural substance. Look at colloidal silver, olive leaf concentrate and grapefruit seed extract online and decide for yourself.

You're right...The movie Forrest Gump did have AIDS in it--"Jenny", his love, got AIDS from her alternative lifestyle (unprotected sex, intervenous drug use). They don't say "AIDS" in the movie, but she describes the symptoms and the lack of any treatment, which is what AIDS treatments started with back in in the early '80s. Obviously there is no cure--yet. Many people, including some in the government, thought that AIDS was an affliction of the Gay Community and drug users and wasn't important for "normal," heterosexual people, that is, until the heterosexual community started developing the disease as well. Children developed AIDS from being born to HIV positive mothers who got the disease from their unfaithful husbands, young people contracted it from their dentists, etc. It is a horrible disease and brought a real halt to promiscuous behavior that had predominated in the 1960s and 1970s. There was quite a stigma about AIDS for many years and there was a real fear about "catching" it from casual contact with people. Television tried to deal with this with television movies, sitcoms, news broadcasts, 60 Minutes program...the list goes on and on. Mainstream movies about AIDS continue this tradition. When Liz Taylor comforted her gay friend, Rock Hudson, who was a dying of the diesase in 1985, I know many were shocked that she would put herself in such danger (she's still alive, as far as I know, 20+ years later). "Magic" Johnson, the basketball player, came out with the news he was HIV-positive and the media had a field-day with it--other BB players were concerned that he might have infected them by sweating on them. Princess Diana was quite instrumental in getting the issue of compassionate care of AIDS victims to the forefront. She too defied "common sense" and comforted AIDS patients by holding their hands and stroking their hair, etc. These images were broadcast worldwide. I remember as a teenager then thinking that she must be very brave. In effect, she was much more informed than the rest of us. My 2nd cousin died of AIDS. Hope I've helped...Good luck with your assignment!

It depends which STD you're talking about. So far no one has found a cure for AIDS. Medications for syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia and herpes are available with a doctor's prescription. I think you've been watching some pretty slanted reports designed to scare the populace and make them madder at the pharmaceutical companies than they already are.

Alot, more than I can name. ANd he didn't name it after himself out of arrogance, he did it to attract more people. All of his proceeds go to charities and the Intl AIDS foundation.

There are currently drugs available that enabled a HIV positive person to live a normal life span. The treatment is not cheap, but for someone living in the US, HIV is not a death sentence anymore. \n\nThere are also studies underway that indicate that certain combination of those drugs prevent the user from getting HIV, similar to Malaria prevention drugs. Those studies look very positive, but a prevention is not a cure. \n\nTo completely eradicate the HIV disease, a vaccine would be required and that still seems to be some time in the future.

My answer was inacurate, the two answers following however quoted an excellent article. To save others the effort I will put the link in here. This article does an excellent job explaining the origions of HIV and the few places I have checked to verify the information contained in the article have checked out.

Yes, I do think he is HIV positive.  His wife, like many professional sports players wives may have insisted that they use protection.  Let's be realistic here... Many athletes sleep with a multitude of women while they are on the road (someone say Kobe).  Most just don't admit it.  \n\nIt seems that Magic's wife was smart enough to be honest with herself.  Maybe her husband wouldn't be 100 percent faithful so it was best that she protected herself.  Good thing she did!  He probably contracted it after the birth of their children.\n\nRemember that Magic attempted to play after the annoucement, but many players were relectant to be on the court with him in case of blood contact.  Magic has the resources to be able to afford the best in healthcare.  Drugs are much better now than they have been and life spans of individuals with HIV and increased.\n\nBottom line... The man is HIV positive, but that does not mean he will die tomorrow.

No, because the person who finds the cure first will be richest.  It is competitive like everything else.  \n\nIf what you said was true, then in socialist countries where the researchers can't get rich, they would be finding cures for everything, because money wouldn't be a consideration.

No.  HIV and AIDS do not care anything about the economic status of the person or country.\n\nFor example, Magic Johnson has HIV.  And he is wealthy.  The US has a fairly large population of HIV-infected persons and is one of the wealthiest countries in the world.\n\nNo, what will help ease the spread of HIV (and AIDS) is education about the virus and the disease.  It's in the poorest countries that this type of education is the worst.\n\nAs far as eradicating AIDS, the only thing that will do that at this point is a vaccine.

Well they let magic johnson play basketball when he was HIV possitive. I guess that it depends on the sport you are playing. In the case of boxing you can not have a contagious blood desease and fight due to the risk of getting cut and the other fighter comming into contact with infected blood. So my best answer is it depends on the sport being played and how healthy the athlete is.
