Mark Patton Health: Nightmare on Elm Street 2 Star Mark Patton In Hospital With Aids

The manager of actor Mark Patton has confirmed that the latter is seriously ill with Aids in a Mexican hospital.

Mark Patton was initially diagnosed with HIV in 1999, on his 40th birthday, after falling ill and initially being tested for bronchitis. He later recovered and moved to Mexico.

After being diagnosed with HIV on his 40th birthday in 1999, Mark Patton was given just one year to live. However, he beat the odds.

Mark Patton’s manager Peter Valderrama has launched a GoFundMe page in an attempt to raise money to transfer him to an English-speaking hospital. Taking to social media, Mark stated:

‘Basically I am asking for help I will not be embarrassed. I just want to be healthy and at home with family…. 

 ‘I feel very stupid for being overly optimistic. I thought I would be flying to Chicago today but I promise that when I am well enough to fly to USA I will.

‘I have faced these medical challenges before and I know I have a lot of fight left in me – but the last few years have been crippling for me financially. I have always lived month to month and I have been struggling with medical visits since October.

‘If anyone is able to contribute it would mean a life saving option for me to be recovering in a place that can cater to my condition.’
