‘Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” favorite Uncle Poodle says he’s HIV-positive.

The openly gay uncle of “Boo Boo” star Alana Thompson, whose real name is Lee Thomson, told Atlanta gay magazine Fenuxe that he was diagnosed as HIV-positive last May.

“I was adamant about getting my HIV status checked on a regular basis,” Thompson said. “I knew it had been my boyfriend who infected me.

“I later learned he had been HIV-positive and was not taking medication, and had not bothered to tell me about it.

“I was advised that I should press charges and, hesitatingly, I did. It was the right thing to do.”

Thomson’s ex-boyfriend is now serving a five-year jail sentence for infecting Thompson, according to the magazine.

Thompson is the brother of Alana’s father, who’s known as “Sugar Bear.”
