HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

How discreet can you be on a forum that anyone can read,anyway,bottom line is that you had no risk,HIV is so fragile outside the body that it becomes inactive and therefore unable to infect you.If the boxing commision is letting tommy morrison box again then it means they are aware that it is safe to do so and that there is no risk to the other fighters.
