Did Prince die of AIDS?

Do you really need to ask?

I don't think so. Plus he made homophobic comments that were never retracted, except by his fan club on their own. I wish he'd pressed more on it, but by that time he was a has-been and no one cared.

Someone said that he had the aids.

Blind Gossip did say a black celebrity had AIDS and was dying in the summer because he stopped taking his meds two years ago on the advice of religious nuts. This fits Prince. To me he seems conflicted. Maybe he was gay, got AIDS then found religion and became a self hating gay/homophobe.

You tell me -

A better question is did Prince HAVE the AIDS, since few people actually die of AIDS or AIDS related causes anymore.

[quote]Plus he made homophobic comments that were never retracted

God knows, secretly gay guys are NEVER homophobic.

Maybe he wanted to die instead of living as an HIV+ celebrity.

Yes, he choked to death on one in his elevator.

AIDS = shame (gay shame) still -- for older gay/bi men.

I admit it was my first thought when I heard he got the flu.

Prince has never been a has been, stupid moron. The goddamn dummies on this board drive me crazy.

r7, I mostly just wanted to bring it up. Not a fan, at all, on many levels. And I don't really care if he was gay or not. I generally don't, never post in the "is the famous twink gay or not" threads because I have no interest.

r6, oh please! you are so wrong!

Prince .it Larry Graham talk him into being a Johovah's Witness...they think being gay is a sin. The JW...a cult of fanatical idiots.

R14, 1989 called and they want their medical understanding back.

Why has he got to be gay to get AIDS?

But I did think it was suspicious that he "flu" for about 5 weeks...

Gays really think people don't die from AIDS anymore? lmao

How else does a 57 year old man die from the flu?

People don't die from, or develop AIDS, if they take their meds, r18.

Well, the nedia will spin the "flu" part.

Don't they all have facial wasting, or is that just most? Have they developed any effective treatments for that yet?

The blind item said he stopped taking his meds for 2 years R20 and that he was HIV+ from the 90's .

R23, did you miss the "if they take their meds" part? I was responding to dr. Dumbfuck at r18.

Prince and Wendy Melvoin made amends back in 2004 (regarding the whole "homophobic comments" thing), and performed together on Tavis Smiley's show.

could the horrid side effects of HIV meds caused him to stop?

r20, yes, keep spreading that lie

It's a bird! It's a plane!

IT'S SUPER AIDS!

Yeah people don't die from HIV if they take medication, but if you are non-compliant you obviously still have a virus that will kill you in your system.

People DiE when they're OLD and 57 IS, old. You old guys just don't want to face your mortality. AIDS was never a lethal as gays like to believe it was. Less than 20% of people that contracted it in the 80s, died from it. Sure it's a high number no doubt but it wasn't the 100% death sentence, that gays made it out to be.

At 57 people die from cancers, aneurysms, heart attacks, lung disease routinely. It is VERY COMMON and not surprising to have someone just drop dead at 57. The ages 45 -65 are especially dangerous for men. Once you get beyond 65 you usually have breathing space because those who are gonna die have already done so.

Stop acting like he was 25 years old and his death is a shock. He was an old man, who likely didn't take too good care of himself and the autopsy will show what he had. Probably has veins choked with cholesterol and lungs half filled with God knows what.

Probably his veins were filled with HIV virons, but otherwise your point is well taken.

Uh in the United States something like 77% of people reach age 65. Dying at 57 is young.

That number is simply not true R30.

As of 2000, the number of people who had been diagnosed with AIDS in the US 1981-1992 was 253,000. The number who were still alive at the end of 2000 were less than 23,000.

Oh, yay.

Another AIDS thread.

flyover state room-temperature IQ eldergays and HIV, a captivating mix of ignorance, denialism, conspiracy theory, shame, fear and hatred.

dID YOU ejaculate while typing the headline?

ID about sums it up

R33, are you really combing 198x survival rates with 20xx survival rates??? How short is your bus?

R25. The homophobic comments were from less than two years ago.

He said the homosexual "lifestyle" (GAG!) didn't have a place in his religious beliefs. This was while he was talking about becoming a Jehovah's Witness. He was later asked about SSM and refused to answer, because he was trying to promote something (music, tour, I don't remember),but the negative backlash to what he'd already said was fast and he wouldn't answer anymore questions on the topic in interviews after that .

He was a sour humorless little goblin.

For those of you (and your number is legion) expounding on what you THINK you know about HIV, AIDS, and attendant morbidity and mortality data: "Whereof we do not know, thereof we must be silent."

Jesus, I can't believe how many of you queens are in denial! People are STILL dying of AIDS! Some even die while taking their meds! Why is this such a fucking revelation? Each and everyone of know at least one person that died of AIDS in the last 10-15 years. All of you need to pop your heads out of your asses and take a breath of fresh air. This man was not a smoker, he was a vegan, and he had all of the money in the world. He may of died from the flu, but if he had HIV, stopped taking meds, then it makes sense that he died from AIDS. I live next door to an older Jehova's Witness couple, and they are as wacky as the day is long. No blood transfusions, Jesus cures all illnesses, etc. The guy probably stopped his antivirals and now he's dead. It's way too coincidental that this was a blind item a week ago, and now Prince is dead.

He never ssshhlept with me!

I should've added that now they'll try to spin some fucking lie about his cause of death. So straight people won't have to have their fragile provincial sensibilities disturbed it will be a fatal case of the "flu".

Cue the concern "experts" on all the info-tainment programs reminding us all how critically important it is to get a flu shot!

Hell no prince was not gay he had and got more pussy than the law allowed . Y'all really need to get over that.

I think he ignored the doctor's advice, the flu can be very serious if you do not take care of yourself. Even young people have to take it easy after having the flu. I had a 17 year old uncle die of it.

He proably joined JW and regretted the gay/bi lifestyle because of the AIDS.

He was still an amazing popstar and as far as we know didn't even rape any kids, so haters can shut it.

My aunt died from the flu at 54. She was a healthy person and certainly not HIV positive. Maybe there was something else underlining, but it was not HIV or cancer. It is very possible that he had another illness and the flu sent him over the edge.

I think its also possible that he had HIV. Im just saying, people do die from the flu without HIV being in the picture.

r45 Now that's true, if he did a concert despite having the flu - that's deadly. My money is on AIDS though.

Respitory disease can kill those with compromised immune systems.

[Quote] My money is on AIDS though.

Sadly, me too.

I know he was older, but could he have died of SIDS?

[quote] Maybe there was something else underlining

Oh, dear.

Maybe it was toxic shock from decades of guyliner.

57 is not old, asshole

especially when you are over 60.

Prince = not gay.. notorious pussy hound.

R49 gots hisself some respitory know-how there.

And R47 is talking about diseases "underlining" (as opposed to underlying.

Now, what could it be about Prince that would attract posts from illiterates?

Everyone knows that no hetero pussy hound ever got the AIDS. Well maybe the jungle bunny black ones in Africa but they don't count.

Does it matter? One less heterosexual! We should all be dancing in the streets!!!

R30: you've posted this before - do you have any sources for this? According to the US Social Security website, a 57-year-old man (as of 2011) has a 0.009116 probability of dying, which works out to a 0.9% chance.

Both Prince and MJ were narcissists. MJ was also an OCD pedophile while Prince was a Paranoid Histrionic Narc.

The fillers looked really good, after he stopped the cocktail, but the lungs couldn't hide from the Pneumonia "flu".

Prince's immune system's collapse is complete.

R30, Prince was notorious for being a prissy vegan. He also did not drink alcohol or do drugs. He hated taking aspirin unless forced to. I doubt he had arteries full of cholesterol, or overdosed. Now, getting AIDS in the 90s like the BlindGossip item suggested may be an explanation for why he adopted his clean eating lifestyle. Prince also seems crazy enough to stop taking his meds cold-turkey if he was convinced he was cured. Many celebrities get in denial about their status, like Charlie Sheen who claimed publicly that the virus is undetectable in him now, and that his blood no longer has HIV.

They are talented, but dumb.

r51 The height fits.

Prince was bisexual in the 80s, then became scared straight after catching the AIDS and losing his firstborn son with his wife. He believed it was his punishment from God. In an open letter to fans about his religious conversion, he stated that he got wake-up calls from God to steer him away from his wrong way of living.. whatever that means.

R24,

It is spelt "Dumfuck".

TMZ is reporting that when Prince had the emergency landing last week with his plane, he was suffering from an overdose from drugs, not flu.

Heroin too.

R68 If you're going to die from an overdose, you're going to die (or be in a coma) that day; you aren't going to do another concert and then die six days later. This was some sort of illness and NOT just the flu.

The evils of prednisone withdrawal, most likely.

AIDS

Vegans seem sickly to me. I wonder if their health is shakier than non-vegans. Regardless, it IS an eating disorder to me anyway, so I imagine other disorders went with it. I still think he was a freaking genius!

Of course Prince died of AIDS just like Wacko Jacko. They probably caught it from some 10 inch cock they twirled on in 1982. Prince was the ultimate glass closet case. I bet he's in hell now getting spitroasted by Rock Hudson & Amanda Blake.

Thanks R40. Now shut your word-hole.

In addition to doing a concert in Atlanta, in the past few days Prince hosted a dance party, was seen riding a bike, was seen at a record store, and was posting on Twitter. While he may have been ill, none of that sounds like someone so gravely ill that they're on the verge of death.

R76 You sound incredibly deluded dear. One of his handlers could have posted on Twitter and Jacko was about to go on tour when he dropped dead. You do what you have to for money even if you're sick. He was probably doped up to his eyeballs on painkillers.

Was seen at a record store? Record stores don't exist anymore, dude!

It doesn't r76. I think od.

R77 nailed it!

R66 That is plausible. I did hear some bi/gay rumors about him in the early 90s but not much recently.

Though I guess I will wait like everyone else for the real reason to emerge.

[quote] Was seen at a record store? Record stores don't exist anymore, dude!

Yes, some do, dude. Prince was seen at the Electric Fetus, a Minneapolis record store, on Saturday.

That's r78 told off. I hope the poor thing doesnt go overdose on lasagna now.

R82 He looks like AIDS is beginning to ravish him there. I hope Prince realised passing his ass around like a slut would always end in tears.

Man, R30 is a total asshole. And wrong. What a douche.

R82: Missing Persons? Damn, maybe he wasn't such a genius.

[quote] AIDS is beginning to ravish him

Oh, dear.

So supposedly after Prince's protege Vanity died the rumor was that she really died from AIDS. So is there a possibility that one of them passed the virus on to the other?

R88 Prince certainly didn't give AIDS to Vanity through fucking her, they shared a dirty needle. Prince got AIDS by getting fucked by an infected cock, probably black.

Thanks R35, don't let the door hit you in the vagina on the way out.

Life is so strange...

Destination unknown.

When you don't know,

Your destination.

Something could change;

It's unknown.

And then you won't know.

Destination unknown.

Prince is dead? Buggered if he is.

"Purple lesions, purple lesions.

Purple lesions, purple lesions."

[quote]He may of died from the flu

"may of"? What does "may of" mean, R41?

She "could of" meant "may have," if she'd gotten beyond the 6th Grade, R94.

May have, r94. Thanks for the correction. I can't believe I did that!

R95, it was a mistake I never make. I'm grateful to have been corrected!

R41, you are to be applauded for returning to admit your mistake and to thank us for the correction--something that 99% of people wouldn't do on here. That is encouraging; my faith in humanity has been very slightly restored.

Possible drug OD. The emergency landing his plane did last Friday was allegedly to get a drug OD antidote

R41, you have a lot of class.

If anyone were ever the epitome of bisexual, it was Prince. NOT gay, NOT heterosexual. He constantly sang about it before the Jehovah's Witnesses cult.

He liked primarily women but was no stranger to men.

"Diamonds and Pearls", motherfuckers! Don't you dare erase his bisexuality or try to "gay" or "het" him.

R40, do enlighten us with your infinite wisdom.

Bi outrage is hilarious. Your whole life is Privilege.

R101 -- how do you inow he liked "primarily women"?

I've seen lots of men and women die of AIDS, and none of them was able to walk around 3 days before their deaths.

They were stretched out on their beds, immoveable, for a couple weeks before then.

Everyone shut the fuck up let's wait for the real reason of his death

bump

vegans smell like farts.

I thought it was "The AIDS".

But their farts smell sweet like fermented fruit....not like rotting decayed flesh

If you say so.

Like box wine and stale newports? Yeah, direct that pooper this way.

R73- I'm in complete agreement. The manager of a store I frequent is vegan and has been for years. She looks very thin and frail. Not the slightest bit healthy. They eat lots of legumes and take supplements, but it's just not the same as eating meat. Humans are at the top of the food chain for a reason. Although I strongly believe in humanely killing animals raised for food.

"I'm in complete agreement. The manager of a store I frequent is vegan and has been for years. “

Well, that settles that then. Thank you

He is African-American so that puts him at higher risk for hypertension. If it isn't diagnosed or is ignored - you can die very quickly at a young age. Anything which causes fluid build-up in your lungs - like the flu - can push you over the edge. It's like drowning.

R113 sounds like he already one foot in the grave.

This thread has officially ushered in a new era. We have a truce declared between the Grammar Trolls and the Illiterati.

Does this mean Mayte may be HIV pos?

R118 Well, she dated Tommy Lee after Prince, so she probably has Hep C too.

Another Motley Crue member, Nikki Sixx, dated Vanity in the 80's after she was with Prince, so he might want to get himself checked out too.
