Morrison Tests Negative For HIV, Fight Delayed

[Mr. Ryan]

wow,,,,poor morrison if this is true. all those watsed years where he could have been making some serious $$

The truth is that he was finished before the HIV thing came out. Do we forget that prior to this, he was knocked down a half dozen times by Lennox Lewis?

Wasn't he scheduled to fight Tyson when he tested positive? It's been so long I can't say for sure, but if my memory isn't failing me, he had at least one more mega pay-day left.

[BishopRyan]

Just to clear this up, he never had a false positive. You undergo regular testing with the current HIV medications. He's had HIV for some time. The meds that are out today bring the level of HIV below detectable for the standard testing.

Like stated pages back if he removes himself from the drug it will return. He has to stay on his medication for the rest of his life no matter if he test clean for the next decade or more. HIV is something you can live with so long as you stay on the medication and your body doesn't reject the drug.

With that said this is exactly why I don't think he should fight. Those detectable levels can go up and down depending on diet as well as other factors.

Currently Magic is HIV detectable level free too. Since his name was also mentioned earlier.

[chidave]

If that is his situation, then there's no way he should be allowed to fight.

[BishopRyan]

This is an area most of society really doesn't know much about and no way Morrisons side is going to explain this publically, buts its fact not my opinion. He tested positive for a good few years and he was on the meds so he was tested regularly. Getting the levels below detectable doesn't happen over night either. Hence the wait for the return.

He knows what he's doing and if these boxing commissions deny him with a passing HIV free test. He'll have quite an arguement unless someone is willing to step up and explain the facts. No motivation for either of those things to happen. So he has the upper hand if he test HIV free.

I'm very familar with how HIV and the drugs work. Heavy training and dehydration can have an effect on certain HIV drugs too.

whats that have to do with my post? I said its sad in that he'd have made a lot more $$ don king had just signed him and he was likely going to be fighting tyson. so your saying he wouldnt have made anymore $$ if he had continued to fight?

Again there was no false positve. There would have to be 150+ false positives if that was true. HIV is in his system its below detectable with the current testing guidelines because he's on the proper meds. If he goes off his meds it will bring those levels back up. Those levels can rise and fall daily which is the real danger with him doing this.

I really hope that he doesn't have HIV.That would be great news!But it's hard for me to believe until there's undisputable evidence.

Actually he will remain at a low readable or no readable level for HIV for the rest of his life. Its just not safe for him to go off the meds. He would open himself up if he stopped taking them.

Again HIV if treated is a livable affliction. He'll grow old like the rest of us.
