A Swedish popstar has a strain of HIV that is less aggressive than the
usual variety.  Well, I suppose that one way to justify why the killer
virus doesn't kill.

"Rumours that he was infected had been circulating in music circles
for a number of years, but until now Lundstedt had kept his diagnosis
to himself. He told QX that he was revealing his status now because 'I
feel I am at the right stage in my life.' Lundstedt is the first
Swedish entertainment star since the eighties to admit publicly to
being HIV positive. He said the strain of the virus with which he was
infected is not as aggressive as some other strains. 'I’m lucky in
that I don’t need to swallow masses of tablets,' he said, adding: 'I
feel great. This is nothing that affects my daily life.' The singer
said he did not know who infected him and had never felt a need to
know. He told his then-boyfriend immediately following the diagnosis.
None of Lundstedt’s partners since then have been infected, including
current partner Mattias, he said. Among his ex-boyfriends is former
Alcazar band-mate Magnus Carlsson."

Alcazar's European breakthrough hit was "Crying at the Discotheque".
They also achieved success here in the U.S. with "This is The World We
Live In" and a more recent remake of Human League's "Don't You Want
Me".
