Thread: Did Tommy Morrison NOT have HIV?

I heard someone say that back when Tommy Morrison was tested positive for HIV, the results were later found to be false. Is this true? (I just heard this, so if I'm wrong, please forgive )

People with HIV, who are taking good care of themselves and who take the right drugs, can have their HIV go into remission and it will not show up on a test. However, they still have HIV, and will always have HIV.

A couple years ago Tommy passed an HIV test and has since claimed that he no longer has it. However, he has been reluctant to retake another test. Considering that he failed several tests in the mid 90's, most people think his HIV has just become undetectable.

Morrison however, is looking for one last payday and is trying to convince the world that he never had HIV to begin with.

I didn't know HIV would go into remission. I'm happy for him. But he could still easily spread it through blood or sex, couldn't he?

i say if hes looking for a last payday, just give it to him so we dont have to hear from him again....please

He is still contagious. It is just not detectible through modern testing.

A couple of months ago, Bob Arum announced he was going to put Tommy on a latin furey PPV which took place in Mexico, which doesn't require an HIV test. Arum got so much bad publicity, that at the last minute he decided not to televise tommy's fight and terminated their pre-existing contract.

Oh. Well I don't know about today, but back during his prime he was supposed to have been a very good fighter, much like Tyson.

Where the hell have you been Clubber? And no Tommy Morrison was never a great fighter. He was a great white fuck up.

Sorry but I beg the Differ, Tommy took a total of eleven test from 2006 until now in which all came back negative, I believe he is negative, But he is nothing what he used to be and will get hurt if he steps up.

Yeah he's done as a fighter.

Remember when Morrison first came back; he said he would take a public HIV test in Nevada that was monitored by NAC officials. For some reason he just hasn't got around to it.

An why were his last two fights in West Virginia and Mexico: two places that do not require an AIDS test. Doesn't seem like he is very confident that he can pass a test.

And in his prime, Morrison was like Tyson, without the chin and stamina. But very exciting.

I have to agree he is a bit delusional. I thought he had state commission test though after his private doctors. Or was it he did not let the commission re-test him and because he had licensed physicians do the first test he was not obligated to retake it?

Whole thing confuses me, all I know is I would not chance a fight with him nor allow one of my fighters if I was a trainer.

True about taking care of yourself. Magic Johnson is a perfect example. If not in the media no one would ever know he has HIV.

Besides HIV will not kill you it is when the virus turns into Aids you are done for.

you are passing along misinformation. If someone is clinically HIV+, they will always show up as HIV+ on the standard HIV antibody test. Becoming 'undetectable' has no effect on the presence of antibodies, which is the primary test used. 'Undetectable' is something altogether different, referring to the viral load within the body (and the viral load test used in this manner is shaky science in the first place).

Basically, if he is testing negative on the HIV antibody test, its because he is HIV negative. No kind of treatment would hide the fact that he has antibodies to HIV in his system.... The treatment might lower the viral load, but that not the issue at hand.
