Lee Thompson, better known as Uncle Poodle on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, revealed that he is HIV positive to Fenuxe magazine in Atlanta. He said, "On March 16, 2012, I tested negative. Then, in May of 2012 my test results came back positive. I knew it had been my boyfriend who infected me. I later learned he had been HIV positive and was not taking medication and had not bothered to tell me about it. I was advised that I should press charges and, hesitantly, I did. It was the right thing to do."
