Greg Louganis, who won four Olympic
gold medals in diving, has called living with HIV “challenging.”
The 52-year-old openly gay Louganis
tested positive for HIV, the virus which causes AIDS, in 1988.
In an appearance on CNN from the 2012
Olympic Games taking place in London, Louganis discussed living with
HIV.
“Honestly, I didn't think I'd see
30,” Louganis said.
When Morgan noted that Louganis and
Magic Johnson have been living well and in the public with HIV for
over 20 years, Louganis said it was a “double-edged sword.”
“Because now young kids are seeing us
and they're saying, 'Well they're alive, thriving and all that.' But
I wouldn't wish my drug regimen on anyone. And the things that I've
been through have been pretty devastating.”
“It's challenging,” he added. (The
