Magic Johnson reflects 35 years after HIV diagnosis

Magic Johnson marked 35 years since announcing his HIV diagnosis, saying faith, family, friends and fans helped him through the years and expressing gratitude that he is still thriving. On Nov. 7, 1991, the then-32-year-old Lakers star announced he had tested positive for HIV and was retiring from the NBA, a revelation that brought the disease into wider public conversation. His wife, Cookie, and their child tested negative. Johnson later returned to play for the U.S. Dream Team, winning Olympic gold in 1992, and has remained a prominent figure in sports and business.
