Re: Magic Johnson!

Man, Magic and "Iron" Mike were my childhood heroes. I couldnt beleive it the day i found out he had HIV. I never thought he would live this long, but i bet he'll be alive atleast another 5 years. If he has AIDs right now, i give him 1 year, if not i give him another 5.

on a side note, how weird is it that your putting a bet on when someone will die?? [img]/images/graemlins/laughing.gif[/img]

on another side note, i pick shitty childhood heroe's. Well atleast were only kids once.

Well, he's still like 250 pounds, so i think the betting is a bit premature. Atleast wait until the guy is about a buck twenty five, and has to wear a diaper.

Re: Magic Johnson!

HIV does not cause AIDS. That is a lie. They have never proven it, and the tests that confirm the separation, are shut down. As a matter of fact, our govt will only fund research if you maintain the propaganda that HIV causes AIDS. Even though they do/can co-exist together, if you have HIV, they have a 'cocktail' you can take to suppress it. Same with AIDS, though this one only delays it.

Re: Magic Johnson!

agree with gthomas. I've read about it ..

You'll be amazed if you really read about HIV. Many doctors have proven and say that a HUGE part of the population has HIV. HIV isn't the cause of AIDS. Nothing but propoganda.... HIV is beleived to be harmless. They have no idea what causes AIDS.

Re: Magic Johnson!

article I just pulled...

...studies show that in developed countries, without use of the latest therapies, 50% with HIV develop AIDS in ten years, 70% in fourteen years. Of those with AIDS, 94% are dead in five years. The rate of progression can be much faster in those with weakened immunity from other causes---drug users or those in developing countries, for example. It can be far slower in those on various treatments.

Most scientists and doctors are convinced that if we follow up infected people for long enough---maybe for twenty years or more---then all or nearly all will die of AIDS.

The majority (77%) of the cases (2349) in the four AZT clinical trials with AIDS or reduce immunity were HIV-negative (Fischl, et al., 1987 and 1990; Volberding , et al., 1990; Hamilton, et al., 1992; Al-Bayati, 1999).

Re: Magic Johnson!

An article that talks about HIV vs. AIDS. They claim HIV alone will not cause AIDS...

http://www.alternativemedicine.com/AMHom...EssayDetail.xsl

Yet this article says HIV does cause AIDS...

http://www.niaid.nih.gov/factsheets/evidhiv.htm

so in a nut shell...nobody knows for sure but common sense says HIV sure plays a HUGE part in getting AIDS.

Re: Magic Johnson!

What is the Difference Between HIV and AIDS?

HIV is the virus that causes AIDS.

H - Human: because this virus can only infect human beings.
I - Immuno-deficiency: because the effect of the virus is to create a deficiency, a failure to work properly, within the body's immune system.
V - Virus: because this organism is a virus, which means one of its characteristics is that it is incapable of reproducing by itself. It reproduces by taking over the machinery of the human cell.

A - Acquired: because it's a condition one must acquire or get infected with; not something transmitted through the genes
I - Immune: because it affects the body's immune system, the part of the body which usually works to fight off germs such as bacteria and viruses
D - Deficiency: because it makes the immune system deficient (makes it not work properly)
S - Syndrome: because someone with AIDS may experience a wide range of different diseases and opportunistic infections.

(Source: Centers for Disease Control - CDC) Of all the research i have done to write my paper about this topic, i never came up with anything that told me HIV did not lead to AIDS.

First of all...that's BULL. He's definitely got it and he's goin. I heard his wife was re-tested again recently and she came up negative again.

Re: Magic Johnson!

HIV doesn't always lead to AIDS, HIV gives AIDS a head start. You are high high high risk to catch many other types of diseases as well with HIV. They are two seperate things but where you find AIDS you will find HIV as well which is why they are thought to be one in the same.
