That just jumped out at me while reading your post. | |

Just point of clarification: Everyone who has had chicken pox has the virus for shingles. The virus lays dormant and can be reactivated as shingles; many are older and it is often, but not always related to temporary or longer-standing depression in the immune system.
There are some residual symptoms left after experiencing shingles for some, but the vast majority heal fairly well, unless there is chronic immune deficiency.
Other conditions can stimulate shingles such as those with cancer undergoing radiation/chemotherapy for example. It is not only related to HIV, it is related to immune suppression.
Aids is not a disease in itself, it is immune-difficiency(Acquired Immune Deficiency) which leads to opportunistic infections that most healthy immune systems would easily keep in check.

[Edited 1/10/20 7:11am] No no. You're inferring something that isn't being said here. Nobody is saying "he had shingles and thus had HIV" and nobody is saying "he had HIV and developed shingles". People are discussing the possibility of him having shingles and considering the blind item suggesting he had HIV. No concrete, finite facts. No one's editing his Wikipedia page. It's just a discussion. | |

Very true. I also brought it up because I realized he had a rash that must be viral in nature. (As I said, many rashes are more like a contract dermatitis that you wouldn't take Valtrex for). It is all just discussion. I also think there must have been a doctor's appt that was never released with Dr. S or it was via phone for this 'rash'. I saw that the med was prescribed on 4/19, which was BEFORE he saw Dr. S on the eve of his body being discovered. (When all the blood tests were done). The texts also mentioned 3 presecription bottles, but only Valacyclovir was mentioned. No idea what those other meds were. Or maybe there is a known appt Prince went to on the Monday after Moline and I am just not remembering it.

Magic Johnson missed several games in 1985 due to him having shingles...6 years later, he retired because he was HIV positive.
That is what I was talking about when I said the two had nothing to do with one another. (Hence why I quoted that specific statement.) I was talking about causation. It's you who did the inferring - and stretched my statement to include all kinds of other crap. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

So the medication that people are speculating could confirm Prince had AIDS or shingles or herpes was not in Prince's name - it was in Kirk's name. This means it is highly probable that Kirk was the one in need of Valacyclovir, not P. The kind of love that takes over your body, mind, & soul | |

It has been deduced that it was likely for Prince as it was thrown away (in the dumpster) Read back several days and it will be clear. | |

This information was missed by many of us 3 years ago. Good call.

Of course, having a prescription for Acyclovir is not proof of anything, but when you add that to the significant weight loss, difficulty keeping food down, sudden look of aging etc., it is painting a picture that is very different from someone with shingles who is generally healthy.
One needs to look at the entirety of the situation and many are and that is OK.

Prince's habit of getting drugs prescribed in Kirk's name renders it impossible to know what was for who. | |

Also, this drug like opiates carries stigma and therefore secrecy. | |

Probably something fishy. | |

Must admit - be it shingles or straight up herpes, it's an eye-opener were it to be for Prince. . Not to say having herpes is a big deal for the average joe, I suppose. I just hope he disclosed, if he did have them, to alllllllllllllllllllll those ladies. That's all. | |

That is what I am thinking. Just because the meds were under Kirk's name that doesn't mean they were for Kirk.
Also nothing should be ruled out that includes HIV and AIDS as long as no one has yet to see Prince's full medical records and autospy and full police statements from Tyka and Kirk.
So it look like some people are more tolerable that Kirk might have HIV but no way Prince could had it as well. Even Charlie freaking Sheen said there are tons of people in the industry are living with HIV and some are our favorites has it too so what make anyone so sure that Prince is so clean without seeing his medical records? And also when they died of AIDS complications more than likely the code use from their PR people is 'brief illiness' or 'cancer' due to the ongoing stigma.
I have this feeling that this Prince's death mystery is going to be solve before 2046. So go ahead Tyka write that book its okay to reveal what actually happen because at the end of the day people will understand and it shouldn't affect his legacy. | |

HIV/AIDS is an illness, not a moral failing or character flaw. I am surprised it is still so charged. If Prince was HIV+, I can see why he hid it. There could be a tremendous feeling of shame based on many org. commenters, some as recent as yesterday. Many orgers somehow associate it with homosexuality (gasp!!). Many folks today contract HIV from men who sleep with men and don't tell their partners because of stigma. Why don't we 'air' that one out? That's the elephant in the room.

Well, one thing is true: Prince did not listen to doctors, regardless of whatever illness he did or didn't have. Really puzzled by that. What exactly made him so stubborn this way? My first inclination is to say it was Larry's style of preaching. After he came under Larry's tutelage, his approach to life was very much akin to Larry's: I'm telling you the truth and you can either agree or not, but you'll suffer the consequences of not agreeing with me. This very matter-of-fact, arrogant way of thinking really propagates a vibe of mistrust and paranoia, imo. . I could see Prince feeling pretty invincible because he was protected by god since he was such a dutiful practitioner. Except, you know, that's not how life works and god won't save you from mortality. | |

So because I am bored, I have been reading some of the files again.
Dr. S insists he only saw Prince twice, once early in the month and again on the 20th in the evening.

Yeah, he was stubborn. I wonder if the "think it and it will be true" attitude permeated. He said he willed everything to happen and it did for a long time. Maybe he was willing to throw caution to the wind in exchange for that outcome. He struck me as bold and a risk-taker and I think it pre-dated Larry. I think he lost some of that feeling of protection when his baby was born, though. Towards the end, he seemed more humble and receptive but may not have wanted to know the extent of his situation. IDK. Complicated maze of a man, whew! I'm going for a drink as I'm in Ireland.

Dr. S prescribed Valacyclovir in Kirk's name of the 19th. In text msgs between Kirk and Dr. S, it is stated that it should be taken for the rash. | |

Yeah, all good points. . It was alarming to see he was telling Judith that he insisted he'd have woken up on his own from the first OD. I do not think he took his health seriously. I tend to think he was annoyed that his health didn't fix itself in his later months. This might explain his disposition. It also might explain his slightly annoyed-looking body language in the Dr S security footage. | |
