  • It's Black History month, so it's only right that we have the great and legendary Earvin "Magic" Johnson stop by Sway in the Morning!
    We applaud Magic for being open about being HIV positive, and introducing Oraquick (available over the counter at local drug stores) to us -- an in-home HIV test.
    "1.1 million people are living with HIV [in 2011]" Magic tells us. "Early detection" is
    what can save you.
    We carried on the conversation by dispelling some myths about his HIV infection, the medicine he takes and why it's considered doormat.
    Mr. Johnson encourages the discussion about protecting yourself and your partner during sexual activities -- as well as having conversations with your children.
    Earvin Johnson Jr -- who is a 21-year old gay man, as well as Magic's son -- came out of the closet when he was 17. Magic recalls being open and having this HIV-talk with his son.
    The new owner of the Los Angeles Sparks gave us his thoughts on the toughest defender of the NBA league, best all around player, best scorer, and who is the next up-and-comer -- between Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Paul George.
    Watch below for more, plus his advice on how to your partner if you are HIV positive.

    This is what a man who takes accountability for his actions looks like. I love that Bird stood up big time for Magic while Isaiah didn't--shows Bird & Magic really are brothers from another mother.

    All I really knew about Magic, Is he was a good basket ball player, and he has HIV. He seems a really cool dude. Positive, productive and inspiring. Can't ask much more from a celebrity.

    why dont they need to take the b lood how can it work with just a swab

    • @jaykaynaysayer4902
      @jaykaynaysayer4902 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Science/health science has advanced so much, that they're able to derive enough information from just a swab of the cheek in order to see and detect the signs of the HIV virus, as opposed to years ago when they needed a straight blood sample when health science wasn't as advanced and in depth as it is now, and they needed the blood because it was a DIRECT source of where the disease/virus is most prevalent. NOW they're able to evaluate samples enough and delve into a swab sample enough to grab the SAME amount of data, if not even more, that they used to with blood samples..
      Hahahaha, that's the best answer I got, and also my BEST attempt at an actual intelligent, somewhat well informed answer that I got! So please forgive any of my poor vocabulary when describing it, as well as my lack of direct, ACTUALLY detailed knowledge.
