Did Tommy Morrison NOT have HIV?

[Lance Uppercut]

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.

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.

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.
