The Johnsons seem like a lovely family and they certainly have had many challenges come their way.
I've always loved and admired Magic Johnson and by publicly supporting his son, he (and Cookie) just earned more of my respect

I believe that Cookie was already pregnant when Magic announced that he was HIV+. I don't think Cookie is HIV+. Don't know if she was given drugs to ensure that risk of transmission to baby was kept low (or if she would need any if she wasn't + )Comment

The physical examination was supposed to be routine. Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss wanted to give Magic Johnson a gift -- a $3 million loan to supplement his salary. But Buss' advisors suggested that he take out a life insurance policy as protection against the loan. Naturally, Johnson agreed.
The results were anything but routine. The results not only changed a league, a franchise, a city, and a man.
It changed the world.
Dr. Michael Mellman, the Lakers' team physician, was the first to receive the results of the physical that showed Johnson had tested positive for the human immunodeficiency virus that could lead to AIDS. He telephoned Johnson, who was in Salt Lake City for an exhibition game against the Utah Jazz. The 2001 season was a week away. Mellman informed Johnson that he had to return immediately to Los Angeles. He didn't want to reveal too much, didn't want to scare Magic. Johnson caught the next plane to L.A. and went directly to Mellman's office.
There, inside Mellman's office, Johnson's world was turned inside out. Life would never be the same again. He was HIV-positive. But how? How in the world could he be HIV-positive? He wasn't gay. Only the gay community was inflicted with this deadly disease. So everyone thought. Now the disease had crept into the heterosexual world. Magic's world. The sports world.
Immediately, Magic's mind flashed to his wife, who was pregnant. He had to make sure Cookie was OK, that the baby was safe. Mellman informed Johnson that he could no longer play basketball, that he would have to retire, that he would need all of his strength to battle this disease, to prolong his life for as long as he could.
In the days leading up to the announcement, Johnson told his wife Cookie and asked that David Ho, one of the world's foremost experts on HIV/AIDS, to test himself and his wife. About 10 days later, Johnson learned that Cookie did not contract HIV from Magic, and that their unborn baby would not be affected. It was Magic's mistake, and now, it was his burden alone.Last edited by CeaBee; 04-03-2013, 10:06 AM.Comment
