Charlie Sheen admits he’s HIV-positive
by PSR News Bureau
Actor Charlie Sheen recently came out and admitted that he’s HIV-positive. “Yes, once and for all, I’m here to admit that I’m in fact HIV positive,” Sheen told Matt Lauer. “I have to put a stop to this onslaught, this barrage of attacks and of sub-truths and very harmful stories that are about threatening the health of so many others which couldn’t be further from the truth.”
The news was leaked on Monday after a tabloid report surfaced that claimed Sheen has been hiding his diagnosis for four years. “Charlie thought he was indestructible and took no precautions — even though he was indulging in high-risk sex practices,” a friend of Sheen told a popular newspaper. The tabloid also alleges that Sheen may have spread the virus to dozens of women, who weren’t told about his condition.
Sheen, 50, says he doesn’t know how he contracted the virus, but denies that he’s infected others. He says he’s had unprotected sex with two people since his diagnosis, but they were “under the care of my doctor and completely warned ahead of time.”
Sheen added that it’s “impossible” that he could have infected anyone else.
The actor says he decided to come forward with the news because he has been extorted by prostitutes and other people close to him who threatened to go public with his diagnosis. “I’ve paid people,” he said. “Enough to bring it into the millions.”
Sheen says he “made a lot of bad decisions” after his diagnosis, adding that his diagnosis wasn’t linked to his famous meltdown in 2011 which led to his firing from “Two and a Half Men.”
