OZZY OSBOURNE Says He Was Mistakenly Diagnosed As Being HIV Positive

October 5, 2009

According to Mirror.co.uk, Ozzy Osbourne has revealed that he was diagnosed as being HIV positive.

The former BLACK SABBATH singer was devastated when he was wrongly told by a doctor that he had the disease.

He said: "I went to the doctor and had an AIDS test and he told me it was positive.

"That was one of the worst days of my life."

But Ozzy was granted a reprieve when a second test came back negative.

Doctors blamed the mistake on the singer's immune system which had taken a battering from years of booze and drugs. Ozzy, 60, who regularly slept with groupies in his heyday, told Glamour magazine: "When I used to fucking get loaded I would get myself into all kinds of situations.

"It turned out that because I was drinking and using drugs so much, my immune system had dropped so that it was a borderline result.

"When I went back to be tested again it was negative."
