      Yeah, there's no cure for HIV.

        I think it's pretty clear he doesn't have it. From what I've discovered after many frantic internet searches following protectionless sexual fiascos is that the old antibody test produced false positives on a regular basis.

          You and Tommy Morrison need to start double-bagging. End Thread.

              With the ****tails they for HIV patients, they can practically live almost the rest of their lives at length like normal people. That's why a lot of life insurance policies won't carry HIV patients being their mortality rate has heavily increased from 5-10 years ago.

              IMO Tommy Gunn (Morrison) still has HIV, but is on regular medication.

                Tommy "Machine" Gunn!!! I hope they let him fight. I bet that left hook could still do some damage.

                  Successful antiretroviral treatment, often in the form of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART), can render HIV undetectable, meaning that the amount of HIV in the blood is so low that viral load tests cannot detect it. This does not mean that an HIV-positive person becomes HIV-negative. The HIV is still present in the body. A procedure like "blood washing", in which a person's HIV-infected blood is replaced with uninfected blood, could never be successful because the virus "hides" in the lymph nodes, gastrointestinal tract, testes, brain, liver and every other organ in the body and would simply use "new" HIV-negative blood to replicate itself once again. There is a myth that American basketball star Magic Johnson tested HIV-negative after he tested positive in 1991. This is simply not true. He is doing well on treatment and his viral load is undetectable, but he is still HIV-positive.
