Greg, beyond beyond being one of the greatest athletes of all time, is one of the most important HIV advocates of all time. We owe him so much. Can’t wait to watch his biopic
No, he's a big liar. I have aids and was in a coma. 27 years dealing with it. He won't even tell the community what he takes for pills. He won't even tell the community how he deals with side effects. They are horrendous. So I wonder why he keeps all that secret and just cries all day about stupid stuff. He could help us all. He's a liar and a cheat to people who are dying. Think about that. Every day someone dies that he lies to.
Because of the doctors in my country I never believer that there is a cure for HIV disease again, My brother and sister over the world there is a cure for HIV disease but today many people still not believe that there is a cure for HIV disease, It can be cured through Dr. Oman with Africans root and herbs, If you want to know more about doctor Oman you can write me on WhatsApp number +447782961177 and there our great doctors have finally found the cure for HIV many have got cured with the help of a great herbal doctor and herbalist known as Dr. Oman, he is the one of the great Herbal doctors in Africa and he has the cure for this disease HIV. last month he share is Herbal medicine in some medical hospital and now he is well recognize as one of the best herbal Doctor in Africa, you don’t have to be sad any more or share your tears any more on this disease when the cure have already be found, so if you want to get in touch with him in private contact him WhatsApp him on +2348023357986 or email address; dromanherbalcure@gmail.com
Don't waste your energy. The people he helps is himself only. He won't dare talk to me or help me. 27 years living with aids. I was in a coma. You would think he would want to help us right? REAL PEOPLE? No, he's a talking soundbite with big secrets he won't share because they save his life and he's not interested in saving anyone else.
in the beginning, i'd say stigma slowed our urgency but now i'm not sure. i think it's more about the complexity of the viruses being so different. like not even in the same stratosphere. smthng most healthy ppl would have for 2 wks can't be compared to smthng you'd have for life.
I think apart from physically taking good care of his health, the fact that he is genuinely a good person and the fact that he has such a pure heart has kept him well for so unbelievably ling
‘Breaking the Surface’ One of the most amazing books I’ve read.. Greg had this partner way back in the day who was so verbally abusive. The many, many medical treatments and care he had to be able to compete. He just did so much to be healthy. God Bless You Greg..
I had the pleasure of meeting Greg at his booking signing years ago. He was as warm and genuine as he appears in this interview. He is a true voice and inspiration for an ongoing health crisis, that hasn't received much press in the last few years. Hopefully, one day there will be a vaccine like Covid? Look forward to the bio-pic. 😁
I absolutely love him! I loved watching him dive growing up. He was perfection. My first Pride Parade in Chicago he was the Grand Marshall!!! My sister and I were star struck. He’s still fine!
I met Greg at a Starbucks in Wilton Manors, Florida. I’d just moved there and went for a coffee, took a double take, there Greg sat with a friend. I spoke and he was super friendly, I asked for a picture. His friend snapped it, then he jumped into a VW bug convertible and drove off. A few minutes either way I’d have missed him. A great memory for me.
Hes been infected almost the entire time. Reading his autobiography its clear that (while diagnosed in 1988) he was probably infected in the early '80s. Hes AMAZING.
It takes about 5-7 years from initial infection to sufficient destruction of the immune system for the AIDS diseases to surface. I've never seen Louganis's blood work, but my guess based on his physical appearance and athletic stamina during the Olympics would be 2-3 years maximum. No one mentions that when he cracked his head open and he was bleeding like a pig, people were administering first aid without wearing gloves. I still get the chills every time I see those videos!
@@davidh9844 having read his book I think early '80s is his likely infection date, as a lot of people he dated during his time in college died from the disease in the late '80s and early '90s. He also says in another interview that he believes he was infected before he moved in with the abusive partner, which I remember from his book being '83ish. If Greg were infected in 1981-82 I would not be surprised at all. By the time he was diagnosed right before the '88 Olympics his T-cells had already dropped to around 250.....AND LOOK AT HIM NOW(!)
@@davidh9844 His T-cell count was about 250 when he was diagnosed in 1988 and several of his lovers from the late 1970s and early 1980s died from the disease. Based on reading "Breaking the Surface," if Greg were infected between 1980 and 1982, that would not surprise me at all.
I would love to see CBS do a special program on those we lost, with a focus on the well known. Young people need to know why it's important to remember them.
I'm a physician. The first cases were described in May, 1981. I began my internship on July 1, 1981. I Saw my first case in August,1981. One of our 2nd year Resident's cousin. Black, drug addict, no lymphocytes, and pneumonia not responding to anything. 1988, 7 years later. AIDS WAS a death sentence, although we could treat the concurrent disease a bit more effectively. But if you had AIDS, you had a death sentence more assuredly than any court based death sentence. Our miracle, and it was nothing less than a miracle, brought about in no small measure by Dr Anthony Fauci, yes, THAT Dr. Fauci, came in 1995, when the first protease inhibitors came on line. A lot of men still died, but the numbers dropped precipitously. The drugs had nasty side effects, but they worked. The drugs became more potent, better tolerated, easier to take. And now, you are interviewing Greg Louganis, roughly 35 years after he was infected. Whatever stupid things Fauci may have done in his lifetime, in my book, Dr Fauci is a saint!
I remember having a drink on the wraparound balcony at the pink house with Greg blessed to MET YOU. # CHARLOTTE LOST TO THE WICKED PLANS OF THE CARTELS
@@odonata9838 Nothing to do with bigotry, though isn't everyone? He had multiple partners and his manager and live in lover accused him of cheating so he put a knife to his throat but later learned Greg gave him AIDS so he told him he must give him a million dollars or he will hold a press conference and tell them he gave him AIDS which could have gotten Greg arrested as he should have been, he may have infected others too.

He's been through so much in his life and yet he is a kind, sweet, friendly person, and seems very happy. Bless him.
His inner person is a kind one. It shines through.
God Bless you Greg - Lots of positive energy and healing your way

How come we got a vaccine for covid-19 in 9 months, but no HIV AIDS vaccine in 40 years?
Stigma plain as day. Look at the push back on covid vaccine.
in the beginning, i'd say stigma slowed our urgency but now i'm not sure. i think it's more about the complexity of the viruses being so different. like not even in the same stratosphere. smthng most healthy ppl would have for 2 wks can't be compared to smthng you'd have for life.
@@k.h.a.l.i.l. it's about big pharma making $$$
we have a possible vaccine in process
@@phillip9723 they've been saying that for decades

Thank God that you listened to your cousin.

Such an icon! I'm so glad he has lived to tell his story and continue to be an inspiration for fellow poz guy like me.
He was also dating his cousin???

I bet he has tons of loads
The man is beautiful inside and out love me some Greg Louganis ❤️❤️❤️
Wow he's still alive I remember hearing he was sick when I was a kid. I am now in my mid-40s. Miracles can happen.
Greg has a great message
Such a wonderful human being. What an elequant speaker.
I absolutely love him! I loved watching him dive growing up. He was perfection. My first Pride Parade in Chicago he was the Grand Marshall!!! My sister and I were star struck. He’s still fine!
My brother passed away from AIDS in 1998. Just before his 30th birthday. I’m so glad to see you so full of life and happy.
I am sorry for your loss. How long has he had it ? How long can people survive ? I thought 40 years with ART ?
I miss you Mr. Diver! Still love me some Greg Louganis!! Peace and blessings sir!

Love this man
Beautiful diver. Always enjoyed watching him.

I started reading his book Breaking The Waves this year. I already gotten to 3 chapters in it already.
Absolutely fabulous guy
