This may be a tough pill to swallow but, it must be said.
Joji Has AIDS.
If we look back all the way to his [old days we see him and rei brown making a truly lyrical and beautiful song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeojDxPwMg0) although, some attentive people may notice Joji’s spasms and the rubbing of his nipples, located on the chest. “The nipple is a raised region of tissue on the surface of the breast” – Wikipedia
Furthermore the rubbing of his nipples and spasms, it is clear that Joji is experiencing agonizing pain in his pectoral muscles. Furthermore, when we look at the [signs and symptoms of AIDS](https://www.ucsfhealth.org/conditions/aids/symptoms), one of them is “swollen lymph glands in the armpits, groin, or neck.” When we consider Joji’s height of 5’8″ and his sex to be male in the equation, presumably we can come to a conclusion that there are at least 3 inches of diagonal space between his armpits and nipples. This may seem like a lot but that is because he likely got AIDS before this video and due to the extreme distance this would mean that his symptoms of AIDS were at one point severe, shown by his discomfort and itching. The Youtube video was posted on the date of March 19th, 2013. There is no known recording date but we can assume it was sometime in March.
Looking deeper into 2015 we see a video, the video in question being “[WHERE ARE THE SACRIFICES???](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLQpTWnV_gw)” Uploaded on May 4th, 2015. Not a minute into the video and we see footage of Joji crawling with spider-like mannerisms. Referring back to the [signs and symptoms of AIDS](https://www.ucsfhealth.org/conditions/aids/symptoms), further into the article we see, one of the “Infections Associated with AIDS” we see “Extreme Fatigue”. This is what was happening in the aforementioned video.
Going further into “Infections Associated with AIDS” you will find “Seizures and Lack of Coordination” and “Vision Loss”. This increases the likelihood of my last two points being true. Why does Chin Chin walk inhumanly, with eyes drawn on? Why does frank wear glasses? Why does Pink Guy have spasms and seizures?
Going back to the [signs and symptoms of AIDS](https://www.ucsfhealth.org/conditions/aids/symptoms) we find “Red, brown, pink or purplish blotches on or under the skin or inside the mouth, nose or eyelids”. All of the said colors have been characters in Joji’s show, hinting at his suffering. This also adds more to why Chin Chin is almost always looking down or why Frank and Safari Man always wear glasses or goggles.
A bit more recently and we see Joji [getting out of the hospital seated in a wheelchair](https://d.wattpad.com/story_parts/301526771/images/146cf9efb2db424c701911734036.jpg). One of the symptoms of AIDS is comas, leading me to believe that this was another incident of Joji and his severe AIDS.
If we look at more recent events like Joji’s concerts, we can see he always wears sunglasses to cover his AIDS blotches. We also know that because of AIDS, “Extreme Fatigue”, “Fever”, “Nausea, abdominal cramps and vomiting”, “Severe, Persistent Dirrarhea and Headaches” and “Coughing and shortness of breath.” Why would these matter? Well whilst looking at [Joji’s day one of Coachella, he leaves and goes off stage for about ten minutes then comes back on](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/I9e7ipdpYBo). Any of these symptoms could have been the cause of that hiccup.
Joji’s AIDS seems to have gotten much better and the future looks promising for his health. All of this evidence presents the quite clear yet disheartening conclusion that Joji has AIDS. What we can do as fans is to support [charities for AIDS](https://www.verywellhealth.com/top-hiv-charities-that-deserve-your-support-4145345) and speak up about having it, it is not something that should be hidden or looked down upon, we are all people that deserve equal and loving treatment.
