Question for those that are knowledgable about the meds: As far as anti-HIV drugs work, I have heard that some work so well, the patient no longer tests positive anymore. They still need to take the meds, of course, but the meds are doing a great job.
Is it possible that anti-HIV drugs can make somebody non-contagious? I'm hoping those people quit acting because they took pics of his medicine cabinet, and got paid off, instead of testing positive themselves.
You know shit...any PI attorney who backs off a case like this would be laughed out of business.Quote:

They would only need to find one plaintiff to make it worth their time.. Guarantee there will be at least one person out there willing to sue him.Quote:

Charlie covered his ass, if you look at his steps. He was never stupid. He was willing to pay upwards of 10 million. It also appears to have taken the right steps in giving himself protection through NDAs and settlements. He is already alluding to his defenses. He is ready for war and I don't think people understand what he is doing. I will never say with certainty that no one will win, but your are going to have to damn hard to win against him. That's all I am saying.Quote:

By the way ... #WINNING !!!
a) It was not a comprehensive list, b) yes Eddie Murphy (I think he was into Summer St Cerly), and c) I have never heard of Gavin Rossdale...guess I will have to google him. All of this being more interesting than Charlie Sheen, who to me is a minor figure with little talent if Half a Man or whatever it is, is anything to go by.Quote:

If he told his partners he did not have hiv and then transmitted it to them, it probably won't matter how crafty his attorneys are.Quote:
