apparently ...he was born and went to school in my home town and i know a few people who know of him, apparently he's a complete tool. he's already sold his story for £30,000 and is refusing further tests yet claims that he wants to help scientists looking for a cure to the disease - but all they want is to do more tests on him to make sure the case is genuine and he's refusing to do so! if it's genuine, it's a shame that it had to happen to someone so unhelpful ...

I think he's living in denial. Maybe he's that desperate to get laid and he doesn't want to know that perhaps he still might have the virus and he might not want to live up to it. He seriously needs to take another test and stop trying so hard to avoid the possibility that he still may have it.  I mean, it's nice to have hope and all. And he could write about his hope, but he MUST take that damn test. I think he's being selfish. This guy makes me sick right now. |

i read in a different report (in a tabloid newspaper, unfortunately, otherwise i'd give you a link) that he was having sex with his girlfriend regularly who was also HIV positive since they thought "well, we've both got it, what the hell".
he's clearly an idiot, but that doesn't help us get him to take another test. the hospitals who took the original test which told him he was HIV positive and the one which took the recent one saying he's HIV negative both claim that it is extremely unlikely that the tests will be inaccurate, but there's no reason for him not to take another test - just a little blood sample, it's no big deal ...

Sometimes it's better to know the truth. Maybe he's reluctant because he's already made himself known around the world for surviving it, and it will be embarassing if it's not true or people think he was lying.

I'd prefer he be truthful. Look at how pride can ruin people.

he's just a complete fool and it's a shame that a possible true case of someone recovering from HIV had to happen to someone like him. there have been reported cases of people in africa recovering from HIV but it's inconclusive since there's always the distinct possibility that some samples have been muddled etc. this one is apparently almost certainly genuine, they just want some more samples to do tests and research on.
