bumpdaddy Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Well ...... back in the 90's people didn't distinguish between aids and HIV positive..... now everyone is "HIV positive". Magic Johnson has been HIV positive for how long now??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barvybe Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 yeah i know some people - mostly gay folk but not all. Because the meds have come so far you'd never know - they have no symptoms or anything and lead totally normal lives ('cept the sex part of course).its sorta something they just don't ever bring up because people still have such a negative reaction to it.

someclown Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Originally posted by bbbooom you first get hiv than after a long while it turns into aids It becomes AIDS depending on certain factors: when the CD4 count drops below a certain number (either 500 or 200, I'm not sure); or with the development of various AIDS-associated conditions like fungal pneumonias, Kaposi's Sarcoma, various lymphomas, etc. With appropriate treatment someone could be HIV positive for 20 years without technically being diagnosed with AIDS.
