I just found out today from NY Times that Erik Rhodes was HIV+ when he did a shoot, released last Aug 2009, at Randy Blue, that required testing. That is why he only had a solo "According to Mr. Colt, Mr. Rhodes found this out when he went to shoot a scene for Randy Blue, a company that requires testing. "They said, 'Your test results came back, and you’re H.I.V. positive,' " Mr. Colt said. Nevertheless, Randy Blue still managed to get Mr. Rhodes to film a solo scene that day, Mr. Colt said.".
FYI The NY Times article talked about the hours prior to Erik's death.
