In truth HIV is not highly transmissible. In a study done by a team reputable researchers and based in Haiti of 800 couples, one HIV positive, one HIV negative, regularly engaged in none protected sex, after eight years only 36 of the HIV negative partners tested positive for HIV. Beyond that HIV is not the sole catalyst for aids. Even if the virologists would have you believe so. It is a convenient target because as a virus it is impossible to isolate or find a cure for. The virus takes on a different genetic form in virtually every recipient. Finding a cure for HIV would be like finding a single cure for every mental disorder. The impossibility of such a cure insures billions of dollars a year in funding ad nauseum. Besides, Cookie was inseminated for their last two children. Sperm doesn't carry the virus. Blood does. As for Chris and Langdon, you guys are way too typical of the media, strongly opinionated without any real knowledge of what you are talking about. Their are many people who were diagnosed HIV positive BEFORE Magic Johnson who are alive and well today, though they ARE a distinct minority. Try getting your facts straight BEFORE shooting your mouths off. Your radio show would be distinctly shorter, to the benefit of the entire human race. Regards, Dr. Akbari Nicola,

Magic fathered two children after the diagnosis that were presumably conceived in the traditional way. What woman would have unprotected sex with someone who had been diagnosed as HIV positive?

HIV is the virus that causes AIDS, but they are not synonymous, and with testing, early detection, and vigilant medical treatment, lots of people are living long, relatively healthy lives with HIV. Don't feel too bad, though: USA Today made the same mistake. You say that Johnson was diagnosed with AIDS in 1991, but actually he was diagnosed as HIV positive.
