I recall when his having contracted AIDS was announced, and he had that same drawn, ashen, wooden and hollow look on his face and in his eyes. He was very fortunate that some form of medical treatment had by then been devised, or perhaps he repented and stopped doing whatever it was, that was killing him. If not, he could have done and could do worse than to have all worldliness stripped from him and to land in the lap of a selfless Christian woman who set aside her own fears and worked tirelessly to save his eternal soul before he passed from this world. It's not an if, it's a when and a how. Remember that.
Well, I’m happy to know that anyone who gets ill and dies a miserable death probably had it coming. Saves me from having to feel bad for them.
Fortunately for Magic Johnson, although he is HIV positive, has never contracted full blown AIDS. He has benefited from all of the drug treatments that have been developed over the years. He was not experiencing any symptoms at the time of his diagnosis and was in very good shape. The virus was discovered during a routine team physical.
