He’s come out publicly (and repeatedly) saying he’s HIV+. Given that his positive status is pretty well known — I mean, he came out publicly about it in December, and it’s not hard for anyone to find it, and he just reiterated it recently — I find the idea that he’s trying to pass it off otherwise laughable. It doesn’t pass the smell test. However, he’s also claimed that people are actively trying to defame him. Given what I’ve seen in this industry around HIV witch-hunts, that seems very likely. The idea that people with HIV are actively trying to spread it is a moral panic narrative that goes back to the early days of the epidemic, but has never really born out in actuality.

Nobody has convicted him…yet…I have lots more…This post was a warning shot across his bow that I am watching.
