RE: Today in History: Magic Johnson announces he has HIV and retires from basketball

It is amazing that he is still around today as some are just carriers of the disease. I see it often enough and in my last role you could just tell who had it. The term here is a slow puncture as you slowly wither away and die from some organ failure. I must have lost 20 workers in the one year alone and I used to just send them home when I spotted the signs. The one guy I paid his salary for 3 months until I got the news he had passed away and only then did the company reimburse me. Most die from TB here and it isn't classified as an AIDS death even though it is.
