Abstract

Since Magic Johnson's retirement, athletes as well as sports organizations are taking more interest in HIV and AIDS. Many athletes seek answers from physicians about the risk of HIV transmission through athletic competition and the rights of HIV-positive players. Although the debate continues about these and other issues regarding AIDS and sports, physicians can counsel patients about reducing their risk.
