Magic Johnson... wtf?
As much as I loved watching Magic Johnson play for the Lakers back in the 1980s, my question is... How the hell is he still alive?
He was diagnosed with HIV way back when which resulted in him having to retire from the game. So, I assumed, with the very little knowledge of AIDS we all had back then that most people usually don't survive longer than 10 years. They said that AIDS is extremely deadly and there is no cure...
So how come he still looks healthy and isn't all skin and bones like Tom Hanks' character was in Philadelphia? I'm guessing that only he can afford the expensive treatments and medication that would slow down the effects of HIV... ? If that were true, then that would suck for all those who aren't fortunate enough to afford such treatment.
any thoughts or guesses?
