OSBOURNE STOPPED CHEATING AFTER HIV SCARE
Former hellraiser OZZY OSBOURNE put an end to his cheating ways after a H= IV scare saw him wrongly test positive for the deadly virus - and left hi= m contemplating suicide.
The ex-Black Sabbath frontman took full advantage of his rock ‘n’ roll = lifestyle in his heyday and freely admits to cheating on his manager wife= Sharon Osbourne.
But he quickly turned his back on his wild ways after one night of unpr= otected sex in a Hollywood hotel back in the early 1980s left him facing = a bleak future.
In his new memoir I Am Ozzy, the rocker recalls undergoing a HIV test o= n the advice of his doctor - but he was not prepared to hear the results.
He tells the National Enquirer, "I f**king freaked! At the time, I beli= eved it was only gay people who got HIV, and now the doctor tells me I ha= ve the bloody plague! "It was like he’d handed me a death sentence! I literally sank to my kn= ees and wanted to throw up. I was a mess." Laboratory technicians soon called to reveal the test was "borderline p= ositive" and told Osbourne he should undergo a second test for accuracy -= with results returned within a week.
Osbourne almost refused the test because he was already seriously conte= mplating taking his own life.
He says, "I told him quite seriously, ‘Look doctor, I can’t wait that l= ong because I’ll have killed myself by then.’ And I would have." Osbourne eventually relented and a second HIV test came back negative = - and that was enough to scare him into being faithful.
He adds, "What happened was that I was doing so many drugs, my immune s= ystem was depressed. So it appeared I was HIV positive! "But I can tell you, that was the end of my career as a Casanova. I nev= er cheated on Sharon again."
