I don't care what medication he took there is no cure for HIV. If he was infact positive he would still be positive today.

Johnson;
"At that time [I was diagnosed HIV positive], we had only one [drug]: AZT," he said. "Now we have 22. The reason I am doing well is because of the drugs.
I am following my doctor's program, and I am making sure I get exercise and a proper diet," he continued. "It's been mind over matter, too. I always felt I was going to beat HIV. I had to put that in my mind to live and breathe that every day."
Johnson still leads an active life, exercising every morning at 5:30, working until 8 or 9 every evening, and raising his three children with Cookie. He sees no end to his active, and activist, lifestyles"

Life expectancy is not an issue anymore.  People with HIV will live until they die of something else - if they are treated properly.  It's the quality of life that is the issue now and the high cost of medical care.

I think there are regulars on this site who have been infected just as long as Magic.My doctor said with the meds out right now the life expectancy is ABOUT  30 years.Please note the about.
The person must exercise, watch diet and take meds every every single time required so that the virus doesn't become resistant.
