Magic Johnson launches in-home HIV test and opens up about his fight with HIV

Earvin "Magic" Johnson had his career cut short when he was diagnosed with HIV 22 years ago. At the time, very few people went public with the virus.

The impact of the announcement was huge. Since then, Magic has found a new life as a successful entrepreneur and advocate.
And his latest project combines both of those things.

He's partnered with Orasure and is now a spokesperson to find a more convenient way for people to confirm their HIV status.
The oral swab test can detect HIV antibodies in just 20 minutes.

OutFront tonight: Earvin "Magic" Johnson.
