He is HIV Positive but doesn't have AIDS yet and may never be diagnosed as having AIDS. <BR/><BR/>Since that expression has caused so much confusion for some people I will change it to read he contacted the HIV virus.Chip Crainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633190293643815540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878605120366712244.post-79378557553647502722008-05-06T05:09:00.000-05:002008-05-06T05:09:00.000-05:00It's embarrassing that people still think HIV and ...It's embarrassing that people still think HIV and AIDS are the same thing. If Magic had AIDS he would be dying. HIV is a virus. Which is what Magic has. AIDS is a syndrom where your immune system fails.
