  • I am a Doctor, their are medications that make it so you only have the HIV virus and if you continue to take it the HIV virus, it will not turn into AIDS.. you will only have the HIV virus, and not full blown AIDS! They are two completely different things. If you have HIV you can live a normal, helathy life. If you have AIDS your toast

  • There is a cure ,But the cure dosent bring in money.Treatmeants bring in money.

  • @CNN thanks for the upload appreciate it.

  • The Comments On Here Are Very Disappointingly Ignorant, Even As We Live iN 2012 With The Extensive Outlets & Knowledge That We Have Access To... #CHEERS! To Magic & The Many Others Who Live On With This (HIV/AIDS) Virus & Continue To Teach Those Inflicted With iT On How To Care & Be Motivated To Survive, & Also Help Prevent People From Making The Same Unsafe Decisions They Made iN The Heat Of Moments... #WrapIt^

  • I think that what keeps him so healthy is his attitude. Mind can cure and do wonders. Hes not depressed about it and thats why he's so healthy

  • dat nigga dnt even have it no more as of 2012 and dis nigga still livin no way he still has it that shit was cured

  • @jniza1 it can't be cured, dumbass. you can slow the process like he is doing, but there is no cure for it yet

  • Why hasn't there been a Magic Johnson movie yet? The first half would be a raging Hollywood porno and the second half would be the last 20 or so years...

  • @details78 There is Now (:

    Check it out Called "The Announcement"

  • So sad!! Gah :(

  • lol

  • His wife is a STRONG woman and I am SO glad she didn't contract the virus. I am also glad Eazy E's wife didn't contract the condition as well.

  • the only way to cure aids is to inject large amounts of money into the blood stream

  • @triplehfan13071 250,000$

  • @triplehfan13071 hahah south park

  • @JesusFingeredBabies you have to understand that HIV is not AIDS. People with AIDS don't stand a chance like you said. But you can prevent HIV from becoming AIDS. HIV is a retrovirus that can be prevented from killing you with a protease inhibitor drug easily. You do not need that much money now a days to prevent AIDS from HIV. You will not be cured from HIV, but you can live with the virus. You should take a biology class to learn how viruses work.

  • The cure to HIV is magic.

  • @xblackjeepx i lol'd myself into submission...

  • @TimeDividerN yrds means years old. its internet talk.

  • hmm twenty plus years living with HIV and counting... yeah that's not weird at all

  • @knowledgebk305 u can suck all 10 inches of my black penis but any way to everybody else i dont think he has it

  • That nigga aint got no mothafuckin HIV

  • i love his determination. i love that now in 2011 he's still a statue in the nba.

  • @MeAndYourMomDOit You may actaully be my kid, I hope not. I guess I hit a nerve huh? oh well this is life you deal with it kid.

  • P.S. Racism has been thoroughly discredited as a social policy because it does not hold scientifically. It's interesting to see how half of youtube comment threads are the desperate rhetoric of people trying to make sense of the world by categorizing and assigning scapegoats by race. Look up "scapegoat" on Wikipedia for an enlightening read.

  • @LICKMYNUTSSHITTYSIDE well there's not much to say to that other than all races, creeds, and cultures have thieves and murderers but obviously that's not a fact that your are aware of and it is not my place to make you aware of it. And so, like I told the individual that posted the comment that triggered my concern "You are entitled to you own opinion, so there's nothing else to be said".

  • @TheRagedHalomaster I was not "raging" at you sweetie. I just didn't want you to be so hateful. BUT you are entitled to your own opinion so there's nothing else to be said.

  • @screamorockstar HAHAHAHAHA hell with this turd.... fuck him.......i hope he rots inside out

  • @KPete1975 For the record, what is a half Mexican and Half Latin person? She is half Mexican, half Latin and 100 percent retard if she is with you. What you are with is a Mutt a Mongrel that like a dog will have sex with ANYTHING. BTW Last time I checked Central and South americans are breeding grounds for HIV...been tested yet?

  • @SAMSON12321 Oh yeah? & ur momma is half chimpanzee & half hyena. Thats how ur nose got to be as big as Michelle Obama's ass.

  • @KPete1975 Like I said any female with you is 100 percent RETARD like yourself and you just proved it.

  • HIV virus= human immunodeficiency virus virus

  • what a poorly tied tie

  • @perther3 REMEMBER IF YOU HAVE PEACE AND CONTROL INSIDE YOU WILL RULE OUT SIDE. AND THIS MAY SOUND BLUNDER BUT THE ONLY WAY TO CONTROL THE WORLD IS TO TELL THE WORLD TO STAY THE SAME AND IT WILL DO AS YOU SAY. IF YOU LOVE SOMETHING AND DO IT WITH LOVE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST. DO THIS AND YOU WILL WIN.

    BOOKS NEVER END. IF YOU READ ABOUT A FOOD; YOU CAN SEE A CITY YOU DON'T KNOW. THAN LOOK UP A FAMOUS ACTOR FROM THAT CITY. THAN READ ABOUT HIS DISEASE. IT WILL NEVER END. SPAGHETTI WOULD BE OK.

  • @perther3 YOU DON'T HEAR ME MAN. NO MATTER HOW I TALK YOU WOULDN'T LISTEN BECAUSE YOUR DEFENSE IS TO HIGH.

    I JUST HOPE I GAVE YOU AN IDEA AND YOU CAN SEARCH FOR KNOWLEDGE. YOU PROBABLY DESIRE MANY THINGS. ASK YOUR SELF WHY DO YOU DESIRE THESE THINGS? WHAT MADE YOU DESIRE THESE THING? AND THEN ASK YOUR SELF THIS. ARE YOU A MAN IN GODS REALITY? OR A GOD IN GOD'S REALITY WITH MAN MENTALITY? SINCE GOD PUT US ON EARTH TO RULE IT. WHAT EVER YOU PICK IS RIGHT...

  • Is youtube lagging?

  • @ChivasBarcelonaMex i was about to say the same thing man

  • @Borough81 Are u using chrome...cus wen i went back to firefox it worked

  • I think it was all a lie...this mutha fucka was just to damn happy for a man that just found out he had the most incurable disease in the world! And now hes rich and healthy as fuck....come on man Wake the fuck up people he fooled the fuck outta us all and we fell for it.

  • @MelanatedBeing Actually, HIV is curable. AIDS isn't. AIDS also isn't the worst thing on the planet, either, kiddo.

  • i think theres a pedo up in here..lol.

  • you fucking retards are missing the point instead of blatantly spouting biggotry and blame the country's shortcomings on the president you might wanna stop and realize what most people have to go through each day struggling with this, i'm guessing this is part of the reason things aren't even getting done in the first place

  • These comments that degrade our country and blame the downgrade of our U.S economy on our current president are very disappointing....at a lost of words....educate yourself before you speak so freely on sensitive issues...

  • @MizMissRay Oh well, then leave the wall street bums behind and go home and find some employment and quit crying and wanking ur meat.

  • The illuminati created AIDS

  • @Homophobe4life you sir are an idiot that shoud'nt even deserve to have own a house.

  • @Homophobe4life kill your self right now you incest peice of shit

  • Yeah, Magic was great and everything and I respect him as a player...But, I sure in the hell wouldn't have played with his ass, if he had HIV, either.

  • When my father told me the news that Magic had HIV, I did not believe him.

    My father never told lies.

    I guess it was the shock of it all.

  • @lennymahoney oh hahahaha this sounds like the typical response of a white scank hoe alert!!!!!

    I'm a 15 yo and will not dat white hoes and my 17 yo mexican girlfriend has no problem with my size you loser shit. Quit fucking 70 yo white perv men, ya stupid hoe.

  • @KPete1975 You're an idiot xD hahahaha I used to like you too, dumbass....

  • @lennymahoney fuck you that aint funny bitch

  • It would suck to have HIV/AIDS. That's why I will always use a condom.

  • funny he got rid of aids if u rich enough theres a cure

  • Good after- Good after- LATE afternoon

  • magic johnson is never gonna die lol hes had hiv for how many years?

  • "Hey Johnson, how did you get HIV?"

    "Magic"

  • HIV / AIDS is God's way of telling people that sex was meat for married couples, and that our society is screwed up.

  • @saxplayingcompnerd, you hippie. Condoms ftw.

  • @saxplayingcompnerd Most blacks are Islamic and believe in Allah, that's what causes them to act this way.

  • @saxplayingcompnerd if that was case the plauge would have around during the accent times. which in that case this have never existed to us because we would have cure it by now.

  • i'm 12 yrs old and what is this?

  • Settle down everyone. Charmz661 is just bored and just wants to strike a nerve with everyone. Check out his page. His favorites are hip-hop videos by African Americans.

  • I can't help to wonder if Magic Johnson was a white man, would he be as highly celebrated? Or would he be scorned and shamed for having Aids and cheating on his wife? You know, the American people are some very strange people.

    Just look at their President............

  • @garytppit only an annoying foreigner knows how to turn literally ANY discussion into shit by bringing in their stunted, ignorant view of our politics.

  • @germinvermin my mom said the only reason obama became president is because he is black and because of all the retarded jews in the media that want to be politically correct. obama was good friends with a bunch of terrorists......shows how retarded u r 4 suporting his stupid shit. now look at our country, thats why everyone over seas is laughing at us. ya dope.

  • @germinvermin thats spermin' vermin.. catchy name 4 an Obama dope like urself.

  • @germinvermin That's bullcrap. We Americans make the majority of the ignorant statements against our own selves.

  • @danielmrussell You and the rest of your ignorant ilk are probably pretty young (it shows). You might even vote. That doesn't mean you know what you're talking about. People are projecting their issues onto me (like the obama comment and Jack's racist comments) when I haven't said anything about the issues they're discussing. Proof positive that my original statement was correct (and probably just as correct for most other sheep in my country).

  • @germinvermin Wait. What are we arguing about? Talk about projecting.

  • Comment removed

  • @germinvermin noone ever made the mistake of overestimating the intellegence of the american public. aside from that black guys are violent man children. most black women would be the first to tell you that.

  • @garytppit he was a human being about it. whatever problems he had with his wife he worked out with her which is the way it should be and instead of hiding it until the media found out he came right out and said here is the situation and this is my life now. you have to admire a man like that! btw our society wasn't not as fucked up back in '91 as far as tabloids go.

  • @garytppit

    LOL...yep, we all know how hated the white man is in America, GTF outta here

  • @garytppit Compared to what white people can get away with over black people, cheating on your wife isn't that big of a deal.

  • @garytppit

    Never judge a book by its cover...

  • @TheSecondR America is full of shit cause of people like yourself . thats moreless what the dude was thinking. Obama sucks. Things were much better in our home before that tool took office.

  • @KPete1975

    1. You have a picture of Justin Beiber as your userpic

    2. I never vote

    3. You mean you would much prefer pay 5+ bucks for gas? You troll

  • @garytppit you can keep your health care.... we have ours now! Silly Canuck!

  • @experiment0003 America doesnt have shit but an already bankrupt country and my mother said obamas health shits is gonna bankrupt america by many more trillions just like romney did with his shits up in mass. what an idiot you are.

  • @KPete1975 lol silly Canuck!! You can keep Justin Beiber too!!

  • @garytppit Fuck off and die. America rules the word don't you fucking forget it.

  • @SuperMiwok That canadian has a bunch of anti amercian vids up and i can see why because of wankers like yourselve who supports idiot cronies like O'bubba.

  • @KPete1975 Hey fuck off. i hope he posts more anit american videos. You can post whatever you want on YouTube. America still rules the world.

  • @KPete1975 You are probably just another stupid spic. :)

  • @garytppit how is obama strange?

  • @garytppit And foreigners have the nerve to call US ignorant.

  • @garytppit You might be right, but the reason that is is because of the racial history this country has and that everyone--or at least most people--realize that because of slavery and Jim Crow in our past it has almost automatically created a situation where both of these guys are almost assumed to have a poor quality of life.

  • @garytppit In America, when someone sees a black person they assume many things about them because there is such a disproportionate amount of us in bad situations. On some level you can't blame people for having the stereotype stuck in their head-- numbers don't lie but it's not some sort of genetic issue or something, it's all the end result of a vicious cycle of failure that began with this country's ugly past.

  • @garytppit If you speak proper English, you're not destitute, or like Magic you do something huge like survive HIV for 20 years, people (including other blacks) suddenly think you're super-negro. Donovan McNabb sucks as a player but was over-hyped because there are so few black starting quarterbacks in the NFL. The newer generation is not completely like that save for ignorance but even a person with good intentions subconsciously assumes several things about you if you're black and in America.

  • @garytppit The system is not designed for us to succeed. Even if people today are not racist, one has to take into account that the system as a whole was designed by people who definitely were. I don't think anyone like "The Man" is holding anyone down and there's not much excuse to fail these days if you apply yourself but at the end of the day an Obama or a Magic Johnson are both anomalies, thus their fame. I don't know what country your from but we fought a war because of this. It runs deep.

  • @luminafire OH WELL?? Then get off ur lazy ass and quit complaining and do something with ur life, ya wall street sympathizing bum. You blame whites for everything yet millions upon millions of blacks were made millionaires because of white kids like myself buying hip hop and going to NBA games wit my Mexican hottie.

    Magic Johnson succeeded even in business away from the NBA and he's black so wats ur problem blaming whitey all the time???

  • I remember the day very well.

  • Only reason he lived so long is because he has money. Unlike him, many people who get infected with HIV don't have the money to get medical treatment.

  • @Soulja4islam I agree, the treatment is AZT or something like that.

  • Am i the only one who finds his nickname ironic? his johnson...not so magical

  • @1trillionniggawatts LMAO That's awful!

  • Check out my channel and help me out with my project! It's aim is to share people's personal stories of an event.

    You hear on the news the NEWS story of an event. You look back on NEWS stories of historical events. Do you ever hear personal stories? Sure, during a TV interview or a documentary, but that doesnt represent everyone who went through that event. This is your chance to not only tell your story, but to see other people's untold stories as well. The first topic will be posted tomorrow!

  • @perther3 JESUS MAN. READ A BOOK. WHEN YOU DON'T ATTAIN ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE AND YOUR MIND HAS SO MUCH POTENTIAL YOU END UP LOOKING AT THESE DUM CONSPIRACY THEORY'S. HOW DO THEY TELL YOU THINK FOR YOUR SELF AND TELL YOU WHAT TO THINK. UP-RISE FIGHT THE SYSTEM MAN; GOING ON YOUTUBE AND SAYING MAGIC JOHNSON IS A PUPPET ISN'T GOING TO DO SHIT.

  • @CHARMZ661 oh my fucking god what is wrong with you. i hope you die.

  • @CHARMZ661 you sound stupid.. do you hear yourself? the 1940's are over.. that talk isnt cool anymore... it only makes you look ignorant...

  • @CHARMZ661 get a life kid. stop playing games and actually look at the facts for once u fucking virgin.

  • @arnoldp90 im sorry did i hit a nerve there buddy?

  • @CHARMZ661 If you want to do a favor to the human race, don't reproduce.

  • @funkyhoboman dont worry i dont fuck niggers :) thnx for caring though.

  • @CHARMZ661 lol cool comment cracker :) shouldnt you be at the pool tanning? oh wait..its winter time...no wonder you Casper looking people are edgy during this season..brrrrrr....lol

  • @CHARMZ661 well your making up idiotic facts. how bout u play your little video games and wack off to them like you usually do kid. go outside, get some sunlight for once. virgin

  • @arnoldp90 hmmm yeah some one is mad. umad?

  • @CHARMZ661 virgin. go get ur dick sucked kid, then come talk to me

  • @arnoldp90 umad?

  • Wow hard to believe it's been 20 years. Crazy how time flies.

  • @businesscardscanner i know right.Also i dnt even know why they put this up today.Its probably beucase of the lockout

  • HUH?

  • i have a dream

  • Lol, this man had to leave the game he loved because of poor decisions that came back to haunt him. He is still living to this day, and has helped enlighten the youth on what HIV/AIDS is, but the ignorance from some of you people is astounding. I wish a good luck to you all in life, seems like you all have a long ways to go.

  • how was magic able to comeback in 96? didnt the nba force him to retire in 91 cause he had HIV?

  • he still loves Fried Chicken.

  • @flyingsin Lol and so does the whole world.

  • @flyingsin Dumb ass.

  • @flyingsin yeah but what color meat? white meat or dark meat? Is it Pop Eyes, or Churches?

  • Im Only 14 years Old and was Oblivious to the fact that i live in a World FULL of Hate And Ignorance. The things people say for youtube is witless and unsophisticated. Hiv/Aids has NO Definite target anyOne From Anywhere Can Get it and the sooner realized the more suitable the world Could be.

  • Thanks for the Cure

  • Am i the only one who realizes that he cheated on his wife? lol

  • @mikebayport ikr

  • @mikebayport that's cos you're a judgmental prick

  • @mikebayport Back in the day I was 8 years old when he spoke about this. I always wondered why no one blamed him for his infidelity. Then we NEVER saw his wife speak about it.............EVER!

  • @mikebayport

    Either that or he shared a needle with someone. Do I sense STEROIDS?!?!?! O:

  • @mikebayport with a man at that...

  • The most disgusting part of this is that the top comments are all racist bullshit which means there's a bunch of other racists out there who find that shit funny but are even more cowardly than these guys are because they won't even post a comment. These idiots, I'm not worried about-- it's the ones who are racist and try to hide the fact that they're racist that are destroying our society. Very sad America. Very sad. We can all do better and no one race is fucking up -- WE ALL ARE.

  • god i miss the 90s

  • These youtube comments are pathetic. Simply pathetic...

  • damn magic is a true soldier man. i woulda been totally different probably had i found out i had hiv. Lesson to EVERYBODY don't have sex with just anyone. Know what you're getting into. The consequences of sex is not just a good five min. children, std's, and self esteem etc.

  • I was never a Los Angeles Lakers fan or never a Magic Johnson fan but when I watch him on t.v. announcing his retirement basketball because of AIDS,I was surprised, Earvin "Magic" Johnson, God Bless Him.

  • @00Jackacid He didn't get an award for having AIDS..

  • @00Jackacid Um, are you stupid? Did they give him a fuckin award for aids? No retard. Get your fucking facts straight.

  • @00Jackacid Missed the part where he got an award. I'm sure the fact that most of his income goes to medicine geared towards keeping him ALIVE is very rewarding along with the fact he's been reduced from being a huge basketball star to Rent-A-Center commercials (rolls eyes)

    No one says this shit about Freddie Mercury. People on YT just will find any excuse to say some racist shit because, as I said, they're hiding behind computer screens. Most people who say these things are terrified of us.

  • @00Jackacid It's so funny how ignorant you are. Black people aren't the problem, people like you are. The fact that you think otherwise just proves how ignorant you really are. America is being destroyed and ruined by people like you. We all deserve equality, no matter what race, religion or sexuality. It's sad and actually quiet hilarious how stupid you really are.

  • @00Jackacid u sound so ignorant<white people and black people are equal in everyway,your just a mad quir living with you wife/cousin..ya white america with a black president,DO your reseArch before you talk REDNECK!!

  • @kiidization haha nah we aint equal til you cry babies stop asking for handouts.

  • @00Jackacid after hundreds of years of slavery im pretty sure we are bitch,,no you no wat i take that back were better the u ,u fuckin pale faced bitch!!!now go kiss your sister fagg!!

  • @kiidization Please don't EVER reproduce.

  • @pegleg747 i will with your moms sweet white ass.i bet she lovessss.... black men

  • @00Jackacid now reply back like a good bitch

  • @kiidization you mad.

  • @00Jackacid This guy along with everyone who gave him thumbs up are douchers.

  • so he cheated and got it?

  • SO WHY DID THEY UPLOAD THIS OLD PRESS CONFERENCE? WHAT'S THE POINT?

  • @Dreamer2012Visions It's to celebrate twenty years of Johnson still being alive. He's the mos thigh profile person with the disease that is still alive.

  • @Dreamer2012Visions It was 20 years ago today.

  • @Dreamer2012Visions

    been 20 years since he announced this

  • @muscle1923 YEAH I REMEMBER THIS! TIME IS FLYING BY LIKE CRAZY.

  • wait, i'm confused. i barely even know what HIV and AIDS are but i do know that they're sti's and std's. if his wife doesn't have it, and he does, doesn't that mean he would've had to have sex outside of his marriage to get the virus? if he cheated he's a bastard and isn't worth my time, but idek. we don't really learn about this type of things until the end of 8th grade, and i just started 7th.

  • @secretlifejunkie08 Go google it. Don't listen to anyone on here because they're all bigoted idiots and will feed you false information.

  • @secretlifejunkie08 HIV is contracted by sex but also by blood transfusions and also by sharing needles with those who have the disease. I'm not sure how he contracted HIV but those are the ways you get it.

  • HIV is transferred through fluids or contact with any mucus membrane of someone infected with the disease. HIV, untreated, or often even with treatment can become full-blown AIDS. AIDS and HIV both weaken your immune system so people don't die directly from it, they die from another infection they got that their immune system could no longer fight off like pneumonia.

    Yes, he cheated. Most basketball players and athletes in general cheat but you could even get it from an infected person's blood

  • I also think you should read, at the very least, the Wikipedia article on HIV and AIDS. I think my basic information is correct, but this is the kind of stuff you should always get from a teacher, a book or a doctor. Don't wait for sex ed-- educate yourself about these diseases as soon as possible. HIV and AIDS are the most dangerous pandemics in modern society. The best defense is to abstain, or at least wearing protection. Don't cheat and sleep around and you'll be ok.
