LOS ANGELES, June 6 (UPI) -- A representative for Ashley Tisdale said Internet reports that the U.S. actress has been diagnosed HIV positive are not true.

Several online posts said the 22-year-old "High School Musical" star may have contracted the disease through a rhinoplasty procedure last year, People.com reported.

In response to the reports, some fans have posted YouTube videos to "Pray for Ashley."

One Web site posted what it claimed was a statement from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

Cedars-Sinai representative Simi Singer assured People.com, "We absolutely did not issue a release."

Tisdale spokesman Scott Appel told the magazine the reports are "completely untrue."
