If you thought you’d seen every ridiculous use of Twitter by now, we wouldn’t blame you, but Buffalo Bills wide receiver David Clowney proved you wrong.

The NFL player just tweeted the results of his HIV test.

(It’s negative).

“Got My HIV Results Back!! Thank God for keeping my body healthy,” David wrote, before linking to the image below, just in case you doubted him:

This is really a non-story – Clowney is healthy and happy – but it’s a great example of how Twitter has changed the relationship between sports stars and fans.

NBA legend Magic Johnson announcing he had HIV at a press conference 20 years ago was a shocking, watershed moment for the worlds of sports and media.

Nowadays, anyone can just Tweet this stuff.

The question we’re all wondering: Would Clowney have tweeted the image above if the HIV test results were positive? You have to think no, right?
