Yeah, right.
Report thisAn impotent, asexual speedfreak will be the new face of HIV. Even considering the amount of blood he let flow, I doubt a drop touched him. No, this is absolute whack.
You need somebody like Magic Johnson or Freddie Mercury, somebody that people like, respect, and can identify with. i.e. “shit, that could happen to me, too….”
