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.Quote:

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.Quote:

Where the hell have you been Clubber? And no Tommy Morrison was never a great fighter. He was a great white fuck up.
Morrison was told he had HIV , so it ended his career.
Then last year he got a second opinion from Dr. Nick Riviera , who said he hadnt got it anymore , however he oviously is still HIV positive.
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.Quote:

And in his prime, Morrison was like Tyson, without the chin and stamina. But very exciting.
Somebody I know told me there are instances of false positives. Depends on the test and what other substances a person might have in his system. It's a shame if that's Tommy's case because that's a stigma that will stick to him for the rest of his life.
I suspect that Tommy Morrison STILL has HIV and has since he was tested positive way back when.
He just tried to come back and make some money, at the expense of infecting others, so eff that, thats pretty low IMO.
Tommy was great in his prime. Now it's time to move on.
Tommy was taking a shower after working out at the gym, he slipped on some soap and fell on a dick and that is how he got infected.
;D
I don't know about all that but I think Tommy liked tapping his feet while taking a shit at the airport and I think that this is where it all began.
;D

Although if you punched you an missed, he would get winded and you would probably be able to score a couple of knockdowns.Quote:

It's kind of funny how when Tommy was diagnosed he looked fine and now he's fine and he looks sick.

OH AND MAY I SAY HI DOCTOR NICK ;D;D;D
ALSO TO THE NOVICE PRICK WHO SAID TOMMY MORRISON WAS "GREAT IN HIS PRIME " NO HE FUCKING WASNT GREAT !!!!!
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?Quote:

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).Quote:

Tommy even knows he won't win a title anymore , or even beat a top 10 heavyweight. He just wants to convince the world and the LADIES that he's healthy . You know what the means ;)
I go with the explanation Saddo did give about another dead thread who came back to life: The guy did google search Tommy Morrisson Aids and it did give this thread as one of the first results, he enlisted here and answered.Quote:

Proof Morrison Passed his HIV Test
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwEwqftgxjE
I can only assume that you haven't seen that fly on the wall documentary 'Rockey V' - the guy was an animal. Fearsome, powerful, could deliver a KO in the blink of the eye, sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeit he even turned on his own coach in a pub car park one evening. Try telling him he isn't a great fighter - best of luck with that.Quote:

It's a shame but no one in their right mind would risk it.
Hello Tommy. Getting desperate in your comeback bid?Quote:

So was the HIV reportedly drug related or, ahem, by other means?
