Obviously there's no source, because he's not going to admit it, and he has control over what medical information comes out. There's no way for the public to verify it one way or the other, and of course anybody who questions it (and some have) is called a racist. I'm not sure I understand how or why there's a racial element to it, but to some there is. And of course, once that's raised, the issue is shut down as happens in most such discussions.
Anyway, here's why I don't buy it. First, when he was allegedly diagnosed, HIV/AIDS was a virtual death sentence for pretty much everybody (even if they had the money to buy the best drugs, which weren't very good at the time). People lived a few years while the virus was inactive, got sick, and were dead within months. Somehow, none of that happened to Magic.
Second, Magic's wife doesn't have it, even though the alleged diagnosis almost surely occured months or even years after he contracted the disease. Obviously nobody's going to have the balls (or tastelessness?) to push that issue, but I can't help but question how she managed to avoid it. If I had HIV, I guarantee you that Mrs. Deez would have it too.
I've heard some suggest that he might have used rubbers with is wife and avoided giving her the disease. Two problems with that. First, one of the reasons a man gets married is to not have to wear a rubber. How many guys have you heard say, "I can't wait to get married so I can start using rubbers?" Exactly. None, because no man has ever said that in the history of civilization, because they're unromantic and gross. Second, to accept that he has HIV and she doesn't, you virtually have to accept that he used rubbers with her but didn't use them with the hookers and strippers who supposedly infected him. Does anybody seriously buy that bizarro-world, backwards, ******** logic? Call me a racist, but I don't.
