Charlie Sheen Announces He Is HIV Positive

Charlie Sheen has announced he was diagnosed HIV positive four years ago in an emotional TV interview.

The Hollywood actor, who said he initially thought he had a brain tumour, told America’s Today programme: “It’s a hard three letters to absorb."

Sheen, who revealed he had spent 'millions' buying people’s silence, said he does not know how he contracted the virus.

He took part in a sit-down interview with Matt Lauer, at 7am local time in New York (noon in the UK), after Radar Online and National Enquirer yesterday went public with claims he is HIV positive,

One of Charlie Sheen’s ex-girlfriends, Bree Olson has broken her silence saying getting tested for the disease was “stressful”.

The adult film star, who lived with Sheen four years ago as one of his goddess girlfriends, took to Twitter hours after a US tabloid claimed the actor was the mysterious Hollywood star who was secretly living with HIV.

Writing on Twitter Bree - who didn’t directly mention Sheen wrote: “Recorded myself for half an hour being tested for HIV and getting the results. This is so stressful.”

Hollywood appears to have known about Charlie Sheen’s HIV positive diagnosis for years, as it was referred to in one of the emails that were leaked.

In November 2014, Sony was at the centre of one of the biggest cyber-attacks, with damaging material, emails and personal details were leaked to the world.

It has now been reported that in one of those emails between senior Sony bosses dated on March 10, 2014, that Charlie’s diagnosis was discussed.

The email contained a link to an article about Charlie struggling on the set of his FX show, Anger Management, and the sender reportedly said: “It’s hard to be a drug addict and be HIV positive and do 40 eps a year”.

“I told my daughter Cassandra the other night. I felt bad. It hit her hard. She’s tough like her dad. She said ‘wow’.

“I said I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner but it didn’t seem like you could do anything for me and I didn’t want to burden you with all the stress.

“But she was a rock star about it.”

Sheen told how after learning he had HIV his life spiralled out of control.

He said: “I was depressed by the condition I was in. I was doing a lot of drugs. I was drinking want too much. I was making really bad decisions. That part I own 100 per cent.”

Sheen says he will not become the “poster man” for HIV but he will not shy away from his responsibilities.

"I'm not going to be the poster man for this, but I will not shun away from responsibilities."
