Does Jimmy Somerville Have HIV?

As soon as Olivier Sim posted and confessed he had been living with HIV for 17 years, people started worrying about Jimmy Somerville and were concerned if he had HIV.

As of now, Jimmy hasn’t confessed anything regarding this topic. So, we can say this can be just an assumption of the fans. Yet the exact fact regarding Jimmy being HIV positive is not published, so we can’t be sure about such notices that may not be accurate as well.

But the sources reported that Jimmy once got a call and was told they would run a story about him being HIV-positive unless he could produce a negative test.

Similarly, former bandmate Coles accepted he had lied to Somerville and acted to be HIV-positive. This all started when Coles told the Independent: “I got in a fight with Jimmy and said, ‘Look, I’m HIV-positive.’ alter he confessed he lied to get Jimmy off his back, however, the more difficult part to reveal was that there was a dark glamour to being HIV-positive, there was this drama and I was drawn to that.” Coles added.
