No, they just banned him from boxing for the hell of it. Moron. He's HIV positive. End. Of. Story.
this whole situation is horseshit as far as im concerned....
i dont recall exactly but threads on here indicated he took the test last week with arizona officials bearing witness....
so WTF where are the results a week later?? doesent make much sense.
i am not convinced Tommy even ever had HIV, if he did there have been cases in which someone tested positve at one time and then turned out to lose the virus
You're a moron.
what if he never had HIV there was never PROOF he ever even had it so why do you all belive he has it?

I don't know, but I just find this whole thing fucking crazy. The guy is obviously broke and returning for the cash. HIV aside, he'll get destroyed by any decent contender.
I don't seee what all the fuss is about. This is an issue that can be proven/disproven very easy.
I say he needs to get tested and let the fans know the facts.
i cant image me ever doing that. whenever i go to a hopital my knees get week, but you guys get paid alot
until you get sued & struck off. hopefully that won't happen though!
Yeah a strong stomach is needed, especially for post-mortems which are pretty disturbing. A couple of my mates have passed out watching some of the stuff

Morrison was tested twice.

There is a chance of one false positive result. Its slim but possible. To have two positive results, both of which are false takes the odds way beyound belief. IMO he has pulled a MJ and now his levels are very very low.
Ok, let me ask a follow-up question... If a HIV pos person has undetectible levels, then can he/she transmit the disease?
yes. Though it is obviously less likely than if they have a high viral load
there have been cases in which someone tested positve at one time and then turned out to lose the virus
I'm not convinced that is true. I think it's more likely those cases were initially false positives rather than a true positive followed by a true negative.
There are several different types of HIV test.
In an HIV+ person, viral load may go down to undetectable levels with antiretroviral treatment but they would still have HIV and would test positive for HIV antibodies.
If Tommy Morrison has HIV, it will be detectable if the proper testing is done, but from memory I think it is (at least) 99.5% sensitive so false positives (and negatives) can happen but are very rare.
I don't know all the facts in the case to reach a definite conclusion on whether or not he was pos or neg. But do you think the Magic argument makes any sense?
yes the Magic Johnson thing makes sense BUT i am not convinced Tommy even ever had HIV, if he did there have been cases in which someone tested positve at one time and then turned out to lose the virus
