Seems to be - HE IS FAT


KEKO1720

I can't even talk bad just because it's Magic!


MONIQUEP

CUZ HE AINT ON THE NORMAL HIV PILLS OR ELSE HE WOULD BE WAYYYYYYYYY SICKER THAN HE IS AND HAVE AIDS I THINK HE STILL GOT HIV. BUT HE LOOK AIGHT FOR THE CONDITION THAT HE IN


ATM

BOther looks healthy to me


FASTBLACK

I beleive Magic is a carrier of the HIV virus but is immune to the virus himself. This means he can give it to others without coming down with AIDS himself, much like Typhoid Mary back in the 50's. She was a waitress in NYC who was a carrier of the typhoid fever without becoming afflicted herself. The government finally had her committed to a sanatarium because she would not stop working & spreading the disease.


DCSMIDDLECHILD6803

good for him.


Caddyfrk

Easy - its called FOOD! wit you greedy ***! haha


Divaninity

He got to be one of the healthiest HIV person I have ever seen. Not to mention the richest. Maybe he got paid to say he had it to build awareness, and Cookie was down with that so people would not want her husband....I would not be willing to bet my life on it. But it works for the "Johnsons".


lady_b4u2

Yea, he's super comfy with HIV!!!


VENOM

HES EATING HIS MONEY.


melchizodok

He got that cure our government hiding! How can a man with aids stay healthy and keep his wife. Noi woman wouldn't want half if she knows she wouldn't be alive long enough to spend it. AIDS is a government produced virus google cure for AIDS and you'll run into the government hearing in the 70's talking about financing it


caress_my_passion

Well truth be told he probably went to Dr. Sebi for the cure for his HIV.


EXACTLY

BCUZ HE DOESN'T HAVE THE MONSTER. HE WAS GIVEN A LUMP SUM OF MONEY TO GO OUT ON A LIMB & SAY THAT HE HAD IT....

DAJAZ1.COM NEW MUSIC & NEW VIDEOS


DLBrother

WOW COVER UP!!!


addorable4u

He's been fat since he started taking all those meds for HIV.

4daluvofprina

Seen these yesterday on [SPAM]. MTO do you share stories or something?


m1ndonmymoney

Wow ppl still Ignorant about HIV/AIDS. Magic never had AIDS ppl. He had HIV. AIDS is the advanced progression of HIV. Big difference. This ignorance is probably the reason why so many African-Americans are contracting the disease now. Its sad.


THEReal813

C'mon now u know this the man who has gotten the cure for hiv!! He Doesnt have it no more!!!


Northjerseynik

I luv Magic Johnson.


Sunshine08021

No his head is just gettin smaller


melchizodok

@m1ndonmymoney technically, I read hiv doesn't prgress in2 aids. google cure for aids, read it for yourself.


Goodhope247

Just because you have HIV don't mean you walk around looking like you need a meal all the time. Some of what i'm reading just sounds ignorant.


justandy

boy that wife got a hell of a lot more years to wait for that cash.


dmoe30

it must b "magic"... "mto" don't b sparin no 1, do they(lol)!1x


blak_buttafly

He looks good. I'm glad he's doing well.


urbX500

misinformation runs a muck in this thread! here is the deal... one of the many possible SIDE EFFECTS of the new HIV/AIDS meds is FAT REDISTRIBUTION. u see Magic with alot of top heavy weight now, even around the face and under the chin and that is a CLASSIC HIV meds side effect. Whats happens is the fat from the lower region of the body (legs,buttocks,thighs) is redistrubuted to the upper region of the body(stomach, face, upper back, under the chin and upper body in general) leaving the total body looking disproportiante, very thin legs,very heavy up top. So Magic isnt "doing anything" except taking his meds as he has no control of the medication simply doing what it does


darth-hater

I hope I find a woman who's as devoted as Cookie. That's some real love... or at least some real comfortable living & spending habits. ;-)


MYPINKSUGAH

LOVE YOU MAJIC, CONTINUE TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.


miamichick07

Dawm! there are are a lot of ignorant people out there regarding HIV/AIDS. I'm an HIV case Manager in South Florida and all these crazy comments proof that people need more education on HIV/AIDS. Magic's medication regimen Includes Kaletra which is manufactured by Abbott Pharmaceuticals. He is not on any special pills. Get educated people go to his website (Istandwithmagic.com). Get educated. This is why African-Americans- specially women are among the highest rate of infection in the country. AIDS is also a CDC definition which refers to your laboratory numbers (CD4 & viral Load).



urbX500

secondly while i wish him VERY WELL.. its ignorant to think that because someone has excessive weight on and "looks healthy" that they are "doing well". That way of thinking implies that someone with HIV/ADS is walking around emaciated and gaunt looking and thats not the case at all. beware if including how someone looks health wise is a criteria in choosing your sexual partners. its grossly misleading. get educated.


sexychoclit

WTF? I knew he had been gaining weight but ***...as long as he's still living I'm sure he aint trippin' bout no weight


TheTRUTH555

I'll tell you how he does it, 6 loaves of potatoe bread each morning stuffed with 8lbs of fried bacon, ham, and 25 links of pork sausages. Then for lunch he'll go a little lighter and eat 5 loaves of bread instead of 6. For Dinner he basically winds-down with a low fat liquid meal of slim fast mixed with half and half cream and a side of bacon.


urbX500

as somone posted earlier, our comnnunity needs to stop acting like the epedimic doesnt exist. to joke about it says ur uncomfortable with the topic and thats ok but you need get real and know that its happening.

YeahBaby

Wow..the real question is why is he the only celebrity to come out saying that he has the disease... are we to believe that all these celebrities don't have nothing..


ChuckBattle

Magic and Cookie two attractive and rich people that nobody wants or are scared to sleep with. Magic eats WHITE GIRLS!


TheoriginalCheri

Oh My God...this is ignorance at it best. It is the reason African Americans will continue to be brought down by this virus.

HIV and AIDS are different' And individual can live for as many as 30 yrs with HIV. When it progresses to AIDS they can start on medication and control it or bring the viral load down.

In Africa, so many people live with HIV for about 5 yrs without the knowledge that they suffer from it. With the right medication one can live on for a long time.

Magic Johnson is just taking his medication and living positively.

MTO, u disappoint me with yo non-truth!!! Couldn't u do some research on this?

Do u expect every HIV positive person to be dying in hospital in a bed ridden state? Y'all need some education!!


Certifine

thats whats up.......he's a strong man and he is living life to the fullest


chuy

y'll know the cure for HIV/AIDs is? MONEY...lol watch an episode from SouthPark on comedy central where they talk about Magic and his cure for aids...lol funny!!!

NVDdark1

which is


Rarestgem

The majority of people with HIV are overweight, just like the rest of the U.S. population, suggests a study.

Excessive weight loss - known as wasting - once was a major problem among people with HIV/AIDS, but now the problem is weight gain: most people in the study gained weight over the course of the infection.

63 percent of HIV-positive people in the study were overweight or obese, compared to 66 percent of the overall population.

luscious_vanilla

Ya'll stole this pic from T M Z...give credit, MTO! LOL

But hey...he's retired from the NBA, hella rich, fat and happy with no financial care in the world.

That's the life...LOL


eve0513

I don't patronize people who are paid and would let others completely suffer. Why not share with the world what type of drugs you are taking?

Help other so that they might live. That is why jerks like him cannot get my money. I would never go to any of his theatres. Nor a weak *** starbucks!!!

I don't understand why so many of my people want to keep others rich while they continue to struggle.

What happened to humanity?


Ayvian

@TheOrignialCheri....PREACH!! I know this guy who has been diagnosed with HIV since 1987....*** smokes more weed and drinks more alcohol than enough. Not saying you should do that, but you have GOT to take your meds. You can live with the virus for years before it even progesses to full blown AIDS. Magic will prob. die of old age before he *** to this disease...


rapsucks2

The Hiv test is a bogus test and can give a false reading from about 60 to 70 different conditions. I know the person that sent magic johnson the protocol to his doctor when this happened in 91.

Every last one of the AIDS drugs destroy the immune system and are dangerous.


strawcream

I still have my old cover of Essence magazine with Magic and Cookie on it the article is HOT!

It talks about his infidelity and how he called off the wedding several times...Up until when he found out he had the virus due to his wild parting and sleeping around...cheating.....

Cookie is a strong woman he came to the house with a 2 year old kid, Cookie asked who was that he said my son! Can you imagine....

This is the price you pay when you think you are untouchable and all that!.....However Magic is a business man with LOTS OF MONEY! I'm sure he changed his ways by now.......

Cookie said making love to her husband is like having *** with someone who do not want kids...Magic said if he did not have Cookie he would be dead by now.......WOW!


pooh9

MAGIC HAS HIV NOT AIDS!!!! ITS ABIG *** DIFFERANCE!!! THATS WHY THE URGE PEOPLE TO GET TESTED SO IF THEY HAVE IT THEY CAN CATCH IT EARLY ENOUGH SO IT WONT GO TO AIDS!!! THATS HOW MAGIC MANAGED TO LOOK HEALTHY ETC!!

MAGIC HAS HIV NOT AIDS!!!! ITS ABIG *** DIFFERANCE!!! THATS WHY THE URGE PEOPLE TO GET TESTED SO IF THEY HAVE IT THEY CAN CATCH IT EARLY ENOUGH SO IT WONT GO TO AIDS!!! THATS HOW MAGIC MANAGED TO LOOK HEALTHY ETC!!


StopHatin1st

THANK GOODNESS THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY TAKE THE TIME TO BECOME EDUCATED ABOUT HIV/AIDS..

1st. IT IS VERY IGNORANT AND SILLY OF MTO TO POST A HEADING LIKE THAT AND HINT AT THE IDEA THAT MAGIC *** BE GAINING WEIGHT (U R ONLY CONTRIBUTING TO REASONS WHY BLACKS ARE VIEWED AS UNEDUCATED ON SUCH A SUBJECT)

2nd. 1/2 OF YOU PEOPLE NEED TO TAKE A GOOD LOOK IN THE MIRROR, OR AT YOUR FRIENDS, UR NEIGHBOR, UR COWORKER, OR ANYONE BECAUSE GUESS WHAT... HIV HAS NO FACE, SHAPE, SIZE OR COLOR. WHAT ONE DRUG DOES FOR ONE PERSON WILL NOT AFFECT THE NEXT.

3RD. HAVING HIV DOES NOT MEAN THAT U R GOING TO TURN INTO A SKELETON TOMMOROW AND DIE OFF, HELL, SOME PEOPLE WITH HIV ARE HEALTHIER THAN MOST PEOPLE WHO ARE NEGATIVE-- THOSE THAT TAKE CARE OF THEMSELF THAT IS

4TH. GET EDUCATED. IT IS 2008 AND FOR SOME OF YOU TO MAKE SOME OF THE COMMENTS U MADE IS LUDACRIS.

5TH. JUST AN EXAMPLE-- IF EVERYONE WITH HIV/AIDS WAS SUPPOSED TO ACTUALLY SHOW IT, WHY IT IS THEN THAT SO MANY PEOPLE END UP SLEEPING WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE POSITIVE THEN? Y? I'LL TELL U.. BECAUSE THEY LOOK LIKE YOU AND ME---SOME ARE VERY FINE, MUSCULAR, NICELY SHAPED, AND EVERYTHING.

THIS IS DISTURBING AND MTO, INSTEAD OF BEING SUCH A CONTRIBUTOR TO IGNORANCE, YOU COULD HAVE TAKEN THIS OPPORTUNITY TO EDUCATE THOSE WHO DONT KNOW, INSTEAD, U CHOSE TO BE LIKE THE MAJORITY, WHAT A PITY


Revolution

We have no idea what he goes through behind closed doors. He does look good for his "condition".


510QUEEN

IM SORRY MAGIC DOEST HAS HIV. HE GOT LONG $$$ AND WHATEVER HE HAD THEY CURED IT! HE PAID $$$ TO CURE IT AND THATS WHAT USUALLY THATS WHAT HAPPEN WHEN YOU HAVE PAPER! HE DON'T HATE THE [PLAYER, HATE THE GAME!


IZITJUSTME

He's gaining so much weight because he's constantly kissing Hiliary Clinton's ***. I am so disappointed in his decision to support her. He's a traitor in my eyes. Cookie should have left his A/S/S a long time ago!


kill-joy

Money!!! he can afford to have the best health care!! duh!!



SoSerious4life

MONEY TALK *** WALK!!!!!

That man look more healthier than these so called people who suppose to be aids free.

Keep the good work up!!!

*** stophatin1st like the only one with sense!!


SEXY-CHRISSY40

"hi everyone"


Swamianan

everybody know how ''magic'' got the virus


IVoteBarackObama

FIRST OF ALL, MAGIC HAS MONEY AND THAT'S WHY HE IS NOT SUFFERING MAJORILY...IF EVERYONE HAD "MAGIC" MONEY THEN WE WOULD OBVIOUSLY HAVE AN ENORMOUS DECREASE IN THE DEATHS CAUSED BY AIDS EACH YEAR!!!

I MEAN DUHH..


GGGB

This is sad. Millions upon millions of people die from this disease and he's chillin. I definitley believe there is a cure.


YOUNGHECTIC

i wonder how much he paid for the cure, he should exposed the truth one day!


cat4everrr

we can be some crazy people sometimes. my sister who is hiv positive has been on the *** for quite some time. she too has gained weight over time. why does everything have to be a conspiracy theory


youknowthatfake

That liar azz never had HIV/AIDS. It was a sick and disgusting way to promote himself, because he was already one of the best basketballers. All the money in the world can't save you from that disease!!! Just a pack of LIES old lying toad!


atlstud25

@ youknowthatfake.... i doubt anyone would just pretend to have one of the worse things a person could have just for as a publicity stunt. I DOUBT THAT. Why would he put everything including friends and faminly on the line for what? he was already a rich MoFo so i think u should think about that response again.

He looks good. If people know it or not people do gain weight when they have HIV or AIDS...not everyone is like what u see when u watch tv with folks in africa with aids....people take sickness differently....


lowerlevel82

wow good for him i like majic at least he one the first big celebrities to come out with it there are so many celebs who have but will never tell


dUhGoD

he been fat like that for years now


jpsone

In the words of my southern granny....

"I mean you's a piece a meat!"


iamhere2letUhaveit

... I'm Starting To Seriously Question "Who's The Real "Moderators" Behind MTO"...

...I'm Stongly Suspecting Nazi Skin-Head Red-Neck, Racist, Klansmen...

...It's Becoming More And More Obvious How MTO Is A Web-Site...Designed For Entertaining (And Nothing More) An "Ignorant-Race" Of People...

...*** Be Misspelled...Facts Mis-construed, Old & Out-Dated Topics...

...They Put Gossip *** Next To Political *** Next To Health ***... ...We Flock Only To The Gossip ***...To Hell With The Heatlh, Political & Family Threads Which Can Help To Educate Our Ignorance...

...Now, Had This THREAD Had A Generic Title Like "HOW DOES THESE HIV+ PEOPLE KEEP PUTTING ON SO MUCH WEIGHT"...I't Would've Got Like "8" Comments...NOT The "81" It Received...


ShezBlazin

It worries me that this is even posted. Who ever said people that are infected with HIV/AIDS can't gain weight? Don't believe the myths people...



DRfinestGIRL

ITS CALLED BEING RICH AND HAVING MONEY!!


lezbo

how come men do not have to "maintain" what they originally bring to the table, like women do? women are always trying to lose weight or have plastic surgery in order to "maintain" their youth...


outspokenone

@miamichick07, you're absolutely correct. taking the prescription med Kaletra, and eating the proper diet plan, allows you to live a normal life, while looking great at the same time. I'm a Nurse, and yes, people please educate yourself in reference to the disease. Ignorance speads faster than HIV.


Caramelhoneys

This man hires over 15,000 black folks in his business ventures..puts business in BLACK hoods and everybody wins..has paid for at least 10,000 black kids to go to college..Magic is a national treasure...'nuff said dre of Caramelhoneys.com


subterfuge

The man won the battle over a life a potentially life ending illness and people are worried about a pot belly? WTF? What a wonderfully superfical society we have


Backyardtrim

He's a good man!


MzNeekie

Wow..most of you know nothing... and that includes MTO. Since when did HIV positive people have trouble gaining weight? If you are at a point where you're very sick or you get an infection, pneumonia, etc..yes you can lose weight, but that's not the norm for all of them. I know someone with full blown AIDS that is quite fat and in *** most of the people they've shown talking about their illness are normal weight. It all depends on the individual's condition. Magic in particular has HIV not AIDS and he takes his meds regularly so that he has reached the point where the virus is still there, but it's so low it is hardly detectable in his system. He is not cured..but in good condition. I've done alot of reading on HIV/AIDS. Maybe yall should too.


timbzs

Most of times i ignore you guys stories and just take it for what it is, But don't put *** like this out there.. Magic is no diffrent than milions of others living with Hiv, these people are healthy and living there lives, Magic does not have access to drugs that's not available to other's Magic was very lucky in how he found out, a lot of people don't find out until after the disease has done a lot of damage.. that's why it's so important for people to know their status..Early detection means a longer and healthier life


sexykatinatlanta

I dont know why people think magic paid for a "cure" he is taking the same antiretro medication that all hiv patients take, if there was a cure there would be a lot of people still living who passed from complications of hiv/aids, when u take ur meds and exercise the viral load is virtually undetectable, meaning the viris is not allowed to mutate(make copies) in the body, with that said an hiv person can live longer than a person not infected with hiv, which is now considered a "chronic condition" not a terminal one. just as diabetics and other people live long lives with their ilnessess so can and hiv person, so afro americans please do your research and know what u are talking about if we put more time in learning and being educates on hiv/aids the world would be a better place. magic does not have access to a cure or special meds check it


lovely81

He looks like a terd. Lose some of that weight dude!


focus

Magic was in great physical condition when he was first diagnosed and he could afford the thousands of dollars for medications while others were dying. Those are some of the reasons the man is still doing well with this disease now.

People have been living with HIV for over 20+ years now and are healthy like Magic. Some people gain weight and are not ravaged by the disease because they follow their doctor's orders and take care of themselves.

Magic is HIV+ and no he didn't receive a false positive reading. Who would make up having a deadly disease in order to promote himself?

There's no such thing as being immune. He still has the disease, however it is at very low levels in his blood.

I'm surprised by some of the responses on here. Many of you truly don't know a thing about this disease or go by myths or conspiracies that someone started. No wonder it is the #1 disease for the black community nation wide.

Magic was a spoiled bachelor back in the day. However, he has redeemed himself by being an excellent businessman in the inner cities, husband, father and outspoken for HIV/AIDS. That speaks volumes for him.


cnpolk

steroids dummy. part of treatment and lovely 81 grow the F### UP!


mybootyisthatbig

OK...take it from someone who knows(unfortunately) some people with HIV, some of those meds will blow you UP! Please, strap up cuz YOU CANNOT TELL JUST BY LOOKS!!! My cousin, (RIP) passed away some years ago of AIDS, and even up until the day of her death, she looked just as pretty as ever. Her hair was lustrous, her skin was flawlwss and her body looked in tip-top shape-again, YOU CANNOT TELL JUST BY LOOKING!


mybootyisthatbig

spell check *flawless*


DreDog

He can afford the medication......17 years ago he was diagnosed...shows that the medicines have come along way. Back in the 80's people were dying with less than a year to live. I know folks who have *** to AIDS and the disease doesn't discriminate against anyone.

Hopefully they will find a cure altogether, even though I feel the white man brought this disease to us to destroy the Black population...real talk.



DreDog

Youknowthatsfake,

Your dead wrong. HIV and AIDS is not like is was back in the day when actor Rock Hudson had it and it literally reduced him to a human skeleton. Research has prolonged folks lives and HIV is no longer a death sentence. An ex coworker I know has been living with the disease well over 10 years now and he's nowhere near death. After I found out about this disease I did extensive research because there is no way in hell that I'd ever want to catch this disease.

For you to say that he's promoting himself is straight wack....NO ONE would promote having HIV to better themselves...are U crazy?

It really does depend on the person's immune system. Some are more damaged than other which makes them drug resistant.


universalbliss

lmao @ "how does he do it"... um, maybe eating. although i keep hearing some of those *** they take have them kinda bloated.


Right-right

Yes. . . but look at what you can see of his legs. Not in proportion.


blackparis07

Expensive medication which lowers the virus in his bloodstream to where he tests negative for HIV,it is not a neagative test though since he does have the virus its called undetectable but if he was to stop taking the medication the virus would rapidly reappear
