Just before we went to press, little Danny Pintauro made some revelations to Oprah Winfrey.  First, he had been hooked on crystal meth.  “I had just come out of a two-year relationship, and I discovered in that relationship that there was more I wanted to explore sexually.  Crystal meth takes away your inhibitions, and if you want to explore that adventurous side, taking the drug is going to put you there.”  What it also did was lead to his next revelation – he’s been HIV-positive for the past 12 years.  “I know exactly when it happened.  I was living in New York at the time and completely clueless to the idea that I was positive.  I went in for a regular checkup.  It was just regular blood work.  You go in, and you sort of waited two weeks on pins and needles – or at least I did, because I was just terrified of the idea of getting HIV.”  He says that the diagnosis was almost a relief.  “You spend so much time terrified that you’re going to get it, and then you have it.  You don’t have to be terrified anymore.”  Let us hope young people everywhere are not following his example.
