Honestly, I’m getting better and better. I just have to stay patient, and I believe I’ll be feeling great again soon.“It has definitely been frustrating dealing with some health stuff that you can’t exactly pinpoint, on top of injuries throughout my career, so it has added up for sure, but we will get through it. Health is wealth.“Thank you for all the support… I appreciate all the internet doctors trying to diagnose and help, but I’m in the best hands. So everyone can relax now. And I don’t have HIV or Aids.”Many fans had speculated that Porzingis’ unidentified illness was HIV, which is why he was away, as he had to undergo treatment.Of course, there has been a long-standing stigma against athletes with HIV, and the NBA is no different. In the ’90s, Magic Johnson had to scrap his 1992 comeback to the NBA partly because of player apprehension, as some stars expressed concern about playing against him due to his diagnosis.Stars like Karl Malone were vocal that they wouldn’t be entirely comfortable sharing a court with Johnson, despite being teammates with him during the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.As it comes to Porzingis, he has clarified that he doesn’t have HIV, thus putting an end to the fan speculation surrounding him.Read more:‘He’s looking healthy’ – Warriors fans react to first Kristaps Porzingis sightingDraymond Green shares what the Warriors have been told about Kristaps PorzingisStephen Curry’s next Warriors chapter comes with a major warning as extension decision looms
