Cover art for 23 Beats Off lyrics by Fugazi

one theory i've heard is that it's about Magic Johnson getting HIV because of unsafe sex. his number was 32, 23 backwards, and i've also heard that it means the famous basketball player wearing the number 23, Micheal Jordan, doesn't get HIV because he "beats off" instead of having unsafe sex, which led to Magic Johnson's HIV.
