Q:Did Magic johnson lose marketablity when he got HIV? Nick Tennant

During Magic's career he had to develop relationships with many people. To his disadvantage he was too well at that. Then he got the disease HIV, but that didn't stop the man he was able to figure out what it took to help stablize the disease in himself while trying to promote awareness for it so other people dont make the same mistakes he did, and he took time off of basketball to advertise the disease and to go on tv shows to make the virus more aware in L.A. This made him more popular, even though he had the HIV, than without  because it allowed him to be more business social and more marketable and that caused him to put some of his money in organizations and businesses such as ESPN, Fathead, One West Bank,Adecco and many more. Which then made him more profitable than he ever was.  What Magic promotes is practice of safe sex, and awareness of the virus and he was one of the people that increased the awareness of the virus substancially, and he is relashing in his wealth because of his contributions in sports and in his awareness protional activities. A: Magic gained more marketablity when he got the virus because of his high value in the sports world which made it easy for him to market the virus, because of the people that helped him and the support he was given.
