Aids Quote by Magic Johnson
“When I first found out I had HIV, I had to find somebody who was living with it, who could help me understand my journey and what I was going to have to deal with day-to-day. I found out that a person named Elizabeth Frazier was living with AIDS at the time, and so I called her up, and she took a meeting with me.”

![“AIDS was something that was put upon us [as haitians], and we were immediately identified with it. That is unfair. That is unjust. I always say, "We are all people living with AIDS." It's not like you can avoid it. It's part of our world.” quote by Edwidge Danticat](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/9e4/edwidge-danticat-2559_aids_aids-was-something-that-was-put-upon-us_2877231.jpg)
