Magic Johnson discovered that he was HIV positive in 1991. He is unaware of how long he had been infected. He says he got the disease as a result of multiple sex partners. His wife who was pregnant at the time and was not infected, neither was the baby.
He announced he was HIV positive on November 7TH 1991
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.

Magic Johnson announced in 1991 that he was HIV-positive. How he's survived 18 years with HIV is a mystery to basically everyone. I seriously wonder if he was misdiagnosed, because most people who contract HIV die of AIDS within 2 years or so, tops.
