Magic Johnson retired in 1991. If he found out that he had aids that year he probably contracted it about six years before that (1985). This means as of 2010 he has probably had aids for 25 years.

He does NOT have AIDS. He has HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. AIDS is the last stage of the virus, which almost certainly leads to death within two years, whereas one can live with HIV for 20+ years before developing AIDS.

Magic Johnson held a press conference in the fall of 1991 to announce that he was HIV positive. He was tested in preparation for the upcoming Olympics. It is hard to isolate the exact time when someone was infected in relation to when they tested positive. He was 32 when he received his positive test result.
