Charlie Sheen Reveals He Tested HIV Positive Four Years Ago (Video)

Charlie-Sheen-Today-HIV-Interview

[brid video=”20260″ player=”1929″ title=”Charlie Sheen Admits He is HIV Positive on Today Show”]

In an interview on NBC’s “Today” on Tuesday, Hollywood bad boy Charlie Sheen revealed he tested positive for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS about four years ago.

“It’s a hard three letters to absorb. It’s a turning point in one’s life,” the 50-year-old Sheen said. The former “Two and a Half Men” actor said. Sheen said he had already paid “upwards of $10 million” to keep the information secret.

“We’re talking shakedowns,” he said.

Sheen admitted to having unprotected sex since being diagnosed, but also claimed he had told every partner since being diagnosed that he was HIV positive. Tabloids have hammered Sheen for hiding his HIV status and having unprotected sex without disclosing his status. In some states, people with previous knowledge of their condition have been prosecuted for knowingly contracting the virus to sexual partners.

His personal physician sat by his side during part of the interview and detailed the star’s treatment. He said after the actor was diagnosed he was “immediately put on treatment, strong anti-viral drugs, which have suppressed the virus.” Sheen and his doctor declared the star has an undetectable level of the virus in his blood.

“Charlie does not have AIDS,” his physician declared. “Charlie is healthy.”

Sheen said he takes four pills every day and he has never missed a dose.

“I still drink a little bit,” he admitted.
