Oh jeez!
Well I was hoping this would be some news for everyone but maybe it's just a quirk in the system then :high:
If he is it's a shame, hopefully he's arrested it in time and taking good care of himself. One good thing is he'll at least have the money to get the proper medications and stuff for himself and maybe throw another spotlight on a global issue that we all need to address and find a cure for.
Sad though nonetheless
If you or someone you know if facing illness or having a hard time dealing with a family members illness feel free to cut and paste the thought on my site.

i liked the movie "cyborg" ( B-rated scifi ) i never really cared much for him as an actor (thank god there was a supporting cast to carry the film) and as a person (based on interviews and news/mag articles) i cared even less and found him so self-absorbed in himself i was surprised he even took notice of others around him.

It looks like the reference to HIV was removed from Mr. Van Damme's wikipedia entry. I scanned it and didn't see anything.
the problem is if someone puts something like this up on wikipedia, a bunch of people will copy it, assuming it to be the truth.
Wow you're right! There was a whole section on it and it was titled in bold "HIV Status" and now it's gone.Originally Posted by Xstr8guy
What you see in some of the google results is exactly what was in Wikipedia.
I will now NEVER trust Wikipedia. So anyone can put something up and take it off just like that?
That's the whole purpose of wiki...
Vandalism will kill the wiki.A wiki (IPA: [ˈwɪ.ki¢°] <WICK-ee> or [ˈwi¢°.ki¢°] <WEE-kee>[1]) is a type of website that allows the visitors themselves to easily add, remove and otherwise edit and change some available content, sometimes without the need for registration. This ease of interaction and operation makes a wiki an effective tool for collaborative authoring. The term wiki can also refer to the collaborative software itself (wiki engine) that facilitates the operation of such a website, or to certain specific wiki sites, including the computer science site (an original wiki), WikiWikiWeb, and the online encyclopedias such as Wikipedia
Wikipedia is a good starting point but I always check source documents if I want to know the absolute truth.
look at his alleged quote - "I want to use my final years to contribute to society..."
I highly doubt that an hiv-positive Jean-Claude Van Damme would make such a statement.
