A representative for 'High School Musical' star Ashley Tisdale has dismissed online reports that she has been diagnosed as HIV positive, saying the story is "completely untrue."
Rumors spread online on Thursday (June 5) following a posting on the website Digg, which was subsequently removed, claiming that, "An inside source stated that Ashley may have contracted the virus last year when she underwent a rhinoplasty procedure."
The article also quoted a spokesman for Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles saying, “Ashley and her family are trying to come to terms with this horrible development. They only ask that you pray for Ashley’s health and to please respect their privacy as the family decides on the next course of action.”
Tisdale's rep, Scott Appel, has angrily denied the report explaining, "The story is completely untrue."
Simi Singer from Cedars-Sinai adds that, "We did not release any statement regarding Ashley Tisdale."
