6. Danny Pintauro
Danny Pintauro, best known for playing Jonathan Bower on Who’s the Boss, contracted the HIV virus after engaging in oral sex with his infected partner. Pintauro told US magazine he and the man had been practicing safe sex, but a history of drug use, a compromised immune system, and lesions in his mouth were listed as the causes for him contracting the virus. He has since given numerous interviews to speak about his diagnosis, including a 2015 sit down with Oprah Winfrey to retell his 2003 diagnosis. Today, Pintauro is a manager at a Las Vegas restaurant, and he is living happily with his husband, realtor Wil Tabares.
