Not to be a cynical bastard, but "I have had HIV for a long time and am fine. By the way I am touring and have an album out in a month" makes me wonder if he has the same publicist geniuses as Ron Artest of "I am sorry for starting a riot, did I mention my CD?" fame.
Timing if not everything, is not nothing. And too much of nothing can make this man feel ill at ease.
