Johnson has HIV.. He doesn't not have AIDS. He takes a combination pill everyday to keep his infection from turning to AIDS.

By having unprotected sex.

It is much harder to contract HIV through female-to-male transmission. Male-to-male transmission is much more frequent, but if Magic Johnson had sex with thousands of women his chances of contracting the virus are much higher than that of the average heterosexual male.

The first part of what you said is accurate. The incidence of infected women giving men HIV through normal vaginal intercourse is nil. The rest of what you said makes NO sense. Transmitted sexually HIV is spread by being on the receiving end of penetrative sex from an infected partner. Just one. Think about it. If it could be contracted the way Magic says he got it, the NBA would be chock full of HIV+ players. Magic's sexual lifestyle was in no way unique. Magic is not being honest.

The chances of a male getting HIV from a female are next to nil. Johnson likely got HIV from having unprotected sex with a male.

As uncomfortable as it is for many to accept, this--unprotected male-to-male sex--is the only realistic answer. The only other rational possibility is through heroin injections using a shared needle, but since Magic Johnson was a world class athlete at the time he contracted HIV, this possibility is at least as remote (i.e., impossible) as female-to-male transmission of HIV.

According to his book my life, magic never releases how he got HIV just that it happened before he married his wife and after the Lakers won the championship and I can imagine a lot of girls must have been throwing themselves at him and must have been infected through unprotected sex with a woman.

Dirty needle,homosexual sex,contaminated blood/bodily fluids. Only he knows and maybe his doctors.he still has it.  A IDS is caused by the Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which originated in non-human primates in Sub-Saharan Africa and was transferred to humans during the late 19th or early 20th century.Two types of HIV infect humans: HIV-1 and HIV-2. HIV-1 is more virulent, is more easily transmitted and is the cause of the vast majority of HIV infections globally.[1] The pandemic strain of HIV-1 is closely related to a virus found in the chimpanzees of the subspecies Pan troglodytes troglodytes, which lives in the forests of the Central African nations of Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Republic of Congo (or Congo-Brazzaville), and Central African Republic. HIV-2 is less transmittable and is largely confined to West Africa, along with its closest relative, a virus of the sooty mangabey (Cercocebus atys atys), an Old World monkey inhabiting southern Senegal, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and western Ivory Coast.

You cant get aids/hiv from having sex to much a husband and wife have 18 kids and she doesnt have aids/hiv. That was a poor responce.

Gjoubert is the only one on this forum that makes any sense. Despite what he media wants you to believe, the ony way to contract HIV is sperm to blood or blood to blood. Think about that!!!! That is why hetersexual men represent a single digit percentage of all infections (and just think how many of those are too ashamed to admit how they really contracted HIV!!!). If Magic got it from hetersexual sex, he woud have had to have had a lesion on his penis.

He does not have aids he has HIV. He has never really said how he contracted HIV so do not speculate.

By having UNPROTECTED SEX! If you are sexually active, remember NO GLOVE NO LOVE! And just because he had sex with HUNDREDS of women, it only took ONE infected woman to pass it to him. You only have to have sex ONCE to get this disease!

This is annoying.  The asker did not ask how he got AIDS, so why is everyone yelling at the asker for speculating, or assuming he has AIDS?!

He had an affair with an infected person, thus contracting the virus. Male or female...not sure! But this is true!

How mr. Johnson was infected with hiv is really his personal business and it did not have to be by having unprotected sex.  No one know what  he has done during his recreational life style.  He and his wife know how he got it and she's standing by her husband.  Everytime I see  him he appears to be the book of health/I wish I knew his phys. I have sarcoidosis stage iv and I look and feel like hell!!!  How did I get this?  No one knows.

Well, how do you think he got it?  The obvious, of course!  But the guy's in great shape, the meds seem to be working for him, very lucky is all I have to say.
