Not at all. Directly from Sherdog.com. Hard to believe. He looks like an old woman, doesn't he.

His right pec looks normal enough. That left one looks like it's dislocated or something.

I seem to remember Magic Johnson being on Howard Stern saying that they can't find a trace of HIV in his blood. He said it was due to him being in such good shape and taking medication. I think he said he still has it and will always have it but he doesn't test positive.

I've heard that too, I wouldn't want to be in the same room much less a fight with someone having HIV bleeding all over the place.

For safety reason...they shouldn't let Morrison to fight in a first place IMO.

I agree but if he does fight, I can't see anyone wanting to be in the front row.

HIV and AIDS are two different things--you can be HIV-positive [i.e., have the virus] but not have AIDS. AIDS is the condition where, as a result of long-term, untreated HIV, an individuals auto-immune system breaks down to the point where opportunistic diseases become life-threatening.

So, to answer the question in the title...no. I don't think he has AIDS.

I am inclined to think that with the revelations of his former manager [ups to Monty for posting Morrison's Ex-agent has a slight difference in opinion... coupled with the incredibly dodgy handling of the fight itself [the clown he fought signed a "no grappling" agreement signed before the fight, then was told 5 minutes before the fight that no kicks or elbows could be used...and foolishly, he went along with this...] and the fact that Morrison didn't have to take a test for this last fight, he probably does have HIV.
