annie lennox has aidsDoes Annie Lennox have AIDS?

Just wondering because she wore and HIV positive shirt on Idol Gives Back.. ?
No,she does NOT have it- the shirt was worn in support of fighting aids (Aids Awareness):

Besides the sheer number of people rallying for change, the most striking thing about these demonstrators was the T-shirts they wore, which read “HIV POSITIVE” in bold, purple lettering.

At first sight, these shirts were shocking and even discomforting, and they still are. Is the wearer, you wonder, living with the virus? If so, why would he or she want to broadcast this painful truth to complete strangers?
n fact, the T-shirt compels us to ponder why, 25 years after the disease was first publicized and 11 years after the discovery of life-saving treatment, millions the world over still bear the burden annie lennox has aidsof infection alone and without hope. It forces us to consider how the global response to one of the greatest crises of our time has remained so tepid that each year the pandemic continues to claim five million new infections and three million more lives.

The “HIV POSITIVE” T-shirt, then, is an intentionally provocative rebuke to inaction. It battles the silence, apathy, and stigma that impede awareness, prevention, and treatment measures. Today, it is an internationally recognized symbol worn by people who are HIV-positive and HIV-negative alike, including renowned figures such as Nelson Mandela. In a bold display of solidarity, the wearer proclaims the need for each of us to act “positively” to fight the pandemic regardless of our HIV status.
She looks pretty sick. annie lennox has aidsAnd wearing HIV Positive shirt would make you think she does have it and that's a way of her saying it without saying it, I don't think she doe, her interviews seem fine, she is doing it I think for attention and awareness because she had her friend pass away from it.


i googled " Is annie lennox hiv positive?" and there was several articals says they had "heard" she was, but she has not made it offically known. If she does then my prayers are with her and her family, it's a very sad disease wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy.
i noticed that myself and wondered the same.
she does look kinda ill, but she could just be aging.
let me know what you find out
I noticed that too. Hope not.
