Freddie Mercury And AIDS - The Heartbreaking Story

How Mercury was infected with HIV is unknown, but the virus was spreading through NYC's gay community in the late 1970s and early '80s. This lines up with when Freddie Mercury was often visiting nightclubs and bars and having one-night stands.
So, how did the Queen Legend Freddie Mercury Contract AIDS? Did one of his lovers pass on the disease to him? Sit back as we discuss the possibilities of how the iconic Queen frontman Freddie Mercury contracted AIDS.
Sidenote:- You can't catch AIDS. HIV is the virus. AIDS is what happens when the immune system fails.

If only Freddy could of survived a little bit longer without his HIV turning into AIDS, the medicine used to treat HIV is so much more advanced now. The medicine now can lower the HIV so much so in a person's body that it cannot be detected or be transmitted to another person. Freddy does not deserve to be remembered as a man with HIV, he deserves to be remembered as the amazing artist he was, and it's a shame that we do not have him with us today 💔

In my opinion Freddie has the best voice of all time. And when he had Aids he still was a true hero by performing up to the end even with the disease. Aids was horrible and he died living like a true hero keeping his fans in his heart until the end. His last videos show what thousands of others looked like with Aids and its a horrible disease. Magic got Aids shortly after Freddie and they had come up with medicines by then so its too bad Freddie could not have had it a couple years later. In my eyes he is a true hero.

This man died of his degeneracy and likely killed others too. Yet ppl in the comments talk as though he was some angel taken away too early. What sort of angel puts their aids infected member in the back passage of a person and squirts death into their bowels. It's SIN plain and simple. Freddie Mercury was a monster. Thank God he was taken before he could infect even more ppl. He was a dirty sod.

Way back in the 70's I was a sophomore in HS working at a high end steak house. We had closed for the night and I had school the next day when the owner came rushing down Yelling..OK! I need 1/2 of you to go and 1/2 of you to check back in and reopen the line!! I was a prep cook, line cook and I saw the older alcoholic dishwasher run for the door as if he was in the Olympics, he had to get drunk. Crap looks like I'll be doing line, prep and dishes...So we all pissed and moaned then..The place started Banging!! The super hot waitress in outfits that would make Hooters blush were all excited and giddy. We reopened for Queen and all their staff! The owner wanted the best and we did it. Later the owner came back and said the band heard we reopened for them and they wanted to thank you guys. So we went out and there was Brian to the right and Roger to his left. Man the movie nailed them! Brian was kind and sophisticated and Roger was fun and edgy! They were so engaging. John was a bit over about 10 feet and had a drink and smiled and said thank you. Then way in the back in the middle of a corner booth in the middle was Freddie. We walked over and Freddie looked like you would walk up to a cat not knowing it was feral & a sparkle in his eyes and he said Thank you, thank you all. Superb meal you're all wonderful. The next day word got out I cooked and met Queen.. I was a rock star for a few days..
