In 2002, Sesame Workshop announced that an HIV-positive character would be introduced to Takalani Sesame, the South African version of the show. Many conservatives and religious groups wrongly presumed that the American version would be getting a "gay Muppet", presumably because of the early historical connection between gays and HIV in the U.S., but the HIV-positive character is only present on this international version of the show. The character, Kami, contracted HIV from a blood transfusion as an infant.

It wasn't common knowledge but one of the Mr. Noodles, Michael Jeter was HIV positive and infact passed away in 2003.
He was the one who played Delacroix in The Green Mile and one of the Priest in Sister Act 2.
