Well as you know, with the right amount kimchee you can cure AIDS and SARS so thats what they mean there. Of course our blood isn't as pure so kimchee rarely works for us (and its too spicy for our delicate Western palettes).

Maybe it has something to do with false positives? |

Didn't Magic Johnson magically not have AIDS after having it?
And if you didn't have AIDS now, why would Korea care if you had it long ago? [I know, it's a poorly worded question.] |

| So, recovering alcoholics are barred from working here, while raging alcoholics control every facet of life here? And if you can become President of the most powerful nation on Earth after smoking pot, I don't see what the problem is with getting a babysitter position in Korea if you've tried it in your past. In any event, why would anyone ever answer 'yes' to any of those questions? |

BTW, GW Bush was a full-blown alcoholic and did cocaine. Pot would be the lesser of those and the only one that's not an "evil." (Please compare an alcoholic's and coke-head's physical nature and behavior to a pot smokers before slamming that opinion). |

Magic Johnson is still HIV positive he simply has an undetectable viral load which means he is in very good health for someone with HIV. The low viral load is a result of being on HAART and proper nutrition and exercise, three things that most people with HIV have little access or knowledge about.
Technically if someone who is HIV positive has an AIDS defining illness at any point, even if they beat it off and return to good health they are considered to have AIDS rather than being simply HIV positive. |
