i think it was around '86 or '87...that's what i've heard anyway....
i thought it was '87....
i remember seeing in an interview somewhere it was around the time he started recording with montserrat for Barcelona. she told in an interview he was distressed one day and she asked what was wrong, he told her (im paraphrasing) "please keep this to yourself, my good friend, i fear im seropositive" or something like that, and he told her to keep it under wraps and to move on with the music.
and for the quitting smoking rumors, i think it was from an interview (86 or 87?) where he (again, paraphrasing) was 'too old for that life and he has grown out of it and is currently clean of any of it' after the rumors of him being tested for HIV the first time and it came back negative.

Interesting discussion. My theory is that Freddie contracted HIV when he got his apartment in New York and started partying in places like the Continental Baths and lewd places of that sort. If not in NY, then I think he contracted it in Munich. Everyone knows how wild and crazy Germans are. I'd say he got HIV between '78 and '81...and possibly got more than one strand of the virus. I think the whole rumor of him getting tested and being found "negative" the first time is crap. I think it was fabricated to try and keep the press away.

nice answer..i know only a few people appreciate me on here..but here is my theory according to Peter Freestone & Jim Hutton..Freddie contracted Hiv in late 86 or early 87..he contracted full blown aids in 90..
http://mr-mercury.co.uk/weekend_94_page_2.htm that is from Mercury and Me..
http://mr-mercury.co.uk/weejkend_94_page_3.htm this is the one stating exactly when Freddie found out he had contracted AIDS
