This month marks 15 years since he announced that he was HIV positive. Does anyone know how his health is? What's the longest that anyone has carried HIV before it became an active case of AIDS?

To my knowledge, Earvin "Magic" Johnson is only HIV positive and has yet to reach the point wherein he has full-blown AIDS. His immune system (T-Cells) are probably monitored constantly as if this were to drop to a certain percent, his status would be changed from HIV positive to AIDS.
Since his announcement, Johnson has done what he can to prolong him life by taking the required medication to boost his immune system as well as by staying fit.
It also helps that he has the wealth to purchase the best that medical science can offer for those who are suffering from HIV and AIDS.
Hope this was able to help.
