Did Tommy Morrison NOT have HIV?

[Douglas]

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?

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.

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.

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.

Anyway, regardless, even if he did pass a HIV test, I would still never face him in the ring (if I was a professional, obviosuly). Like someone else said, there is a stigma attached to him now and I can't imagine anyone would want to get in the ring with him even if he was able to make a comeback. It's a shame but no one in their right mind would risk it.

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.

Hello Tommy. Getting desperate in your comeback bid?

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.

See above.

[boozeboxer]

goddamn this is an old thread. Still sticking by him being a fuck up. He had loads of potential and he pissed it away.

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