Not a death sentence anymore. With the right meds you can live a full & relatively normal life.

Sad for him but with today's treatment advancements it shouldn't really have any impact on lifespan, in the West at least.

sorry to hear about the Hiv.

but massive respect for him coming out and declaring his status. We should have some gay football players coming out soon, but i am not optimistic.

His openness can perhaps help other people in a similar situation so fair play to him for speaking so candidly.

Unbelievable player and a beast of a man.. Sad to hear but as others have said it is certainly not the death sentence it once was..

 


Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!

It seemed that it wasn't his intention to declare his status but someone in the media managed to find out and was about to expose him when he decided to beat them to the punch.

They say that we have the media that we deserve

Exactly right. As with The Ben Strokes thread another 'scummy paper exploiting someones personal life and challenges to shift a few copies of their worthless rag'

Well there's a documentary tonight - so timing seems odd.

The documentary isn't based on publicly stating it a couple of days back though. It's about his decision to do so and to tell friends and family as result of threats to reveal it. Well more than threats. He said in a TV interview this morning that a journalist knocked on his parents door and told them about his HIV status.
