His life has become part lab rat part spokes figure for aids. A simple blood test isnt the most precise way to test for aids, so they do things like spinal taps, intestinal sampling, and other nasty sounding biopsies of tissue and fluids to see if aids still exist in any parts of his body. Not to long ago one of these more invasive test, tested positive for aids.

Furthermore his most recent positive test was for a different, yet still common and well known, strand of aids. So theyre all thinking 2 things. There was contamination somewhere in the test. Or he got himself re-infected. For science sake i hope its the latter. While we may all be kind of offended that this guy got aids twice, i think more could be learned from it. This guy could teach us a lot by being irresponsible.

Regardless the real cure for things like viruses and cancers are vaccines. Preventing something is a lot easier than fixing it.
