Actor Charlie Sheen, Former Star Of ‘Two And A Half Men,’ Confirms He Is HIV Positive

Rumours circulating about a Hollywood actor who was HIV positive and have possibly infected his numerous sexual partners or put them at risk by not informing them of his status.

In his interview on the ‘Today’ show with Matt Lauer, he discusses how he’d known about his diagnosis for about four years after suffering headaches and sweating.

He started off saying “I am here to admit that I am in fact HIV positive. I have to put a stop to this barrage of attacks and sub-truths and very harmful and mercurial stories that are about me that threaten the health of so many others. [It] couldn’t be farther from the truth. I have a responsibility now to better myself and to help a lot of other people, and hopefully with what we’re doing today, others may come forward sand say, ‘Thanks, Charlie. Thanks for kicking the door open.”

He added “[I was diagnosed] based on this series of cluster headaches and insane migraines and sweating the bed, completely drenched two, three nights in a row, that I was emergency hospitalized. I thought I had a brain tumor. I thought it was over. After a battery of tests and spinal taps, all that crap, they walked in the room and said, ‘Boom. Here’s what’s going on.’ It’s a hard three letters to absorb. It’s a turning point in one’s life.”
