During the height of his days starring as Dylan McKay on 90210 in the 1990s, Perry was reportedly terrified of catching AIDS. “Luke is shaking in his boots that he’ll contract the deadly AIDS virus,” a source claimed to The National ENQUIRER at the time. "He's had a lot of girlfriends, women who have thrown themselves at his feet."
