Magic Johnson Faked AIDS

Magic Johnson

Ever wonder why after 17 years after his announcement that he tested positive for HIV in 1991, basketball legend Magic Johnson is still alive? (Not that we wished him bad though)..Well, there is actually a “temporary cure” for HIV/AIDS, a cocktail of expensive drugs that one must take everyday. But recently, a popular radio program in Minneapolis, MN, floated an idea that maybe Magic Johnson faked his AIDS to gain public sympathy.

During the October 8 broadcast of Minneapolis radio station KTLK, hosts Chris Baker and Langdon Perry of the The Chris Baker Show, Perry asked: “What about diseases that are eminently treatable and you can live with for a long, long time quite healthily if you just get some basic drugs?” Baker interjected, “like Magic Johnson,” to which Perry replied, “Like Magic with his faked AIDS.” After Baker asked, “You think Magic faked AIDS for sympathy?” Perry stated, “I’m convinced that Magic faked AIDS.” Baker replied, “Yeah, me too.” Perry added: “It falls apart when you get into motivation. I’m not sure why, but I’m pretty sure he faked AIDS. … Cause he’s the only cured AIDS guy ever.”

In response to KTLK radio hosts Chris Baker and Langdon Perry’s accusations that “Magic faked AIDS,” Magic Johnson issued the following statement:

“I am extremely disappointed in KTLK in Minneapolis. I am outraged that Chris Baker and Langdon Perry would minimize such a serious and deadly issue. Millions are dying from HIV/AIDS and the fact that they would make jokes about my status is unbelievable,” said Johnson. “Chris, Langdon and KTLK should use their power in a more positive light by encouraging people to get tested for this disease instead of making up such ridiculous lies.”

Indeed. Kaya kayo, wag ng matakot sa Kulam, mas matakot kayo sa AIDA! LOL..I think the Philippines has one of the most under-reported HIV positive countries in the Southeast Asian Region given the large OFW population. Take Care, don’t be so promiscous, gayahin nyo ang Jonas Brothers with their ‘purity rings.’
