Hollywood bad boy Charlie Sheen revealed on Tuesday he is HIV positive.
In an interview Tuesday on NBC's "Today," the 50-year-old Sheen says he tested positive for 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 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 said that he did have unprotected sex since being diagnosed, but also claimed he had told every partner since being diagnosed that he was HIV positive.
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.
His physician said Sheen's substance abuse issues have concerned his doctors.

That guy has always made my skin crawl. Always trust your gut. *SHUDDER*
And we’re supposed to be surprised? Feel sorry for him?
“I still drink a little bit,” he admitted.
Uh huh
I always just sort of assumed that he was hiv+
30+ Years of drinking, drugs, hookers and rampant sex. How could this happen? I don’t hate the guy, but lets not waste energy feeling sorry for someone who did everything possible to reach that point.
Hey, Carlos
You lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.
Uhhhhhhh......winning?
Charlie should’ve become a Kardashian years ago. Any of the girls still available?
What a surprise from the guy who said he doesn’t pay hookers to come see him....
he pays them to leave!
Not surprised at all that he is HIV+ but I am stunned that IF he informed the ladies that he still got unprotected sex.
Charlie Sheen says he has HIV virus, has paid millions to keep it secret
Why is this even news??????
I cannot understand why anyone would have unprotected sex with a guy who was known to have had a predilection for porn stars.
He may not have AIDS, but he is far from healthy! And I don't need an MD to say that.
party down Charlie, party down...
In the not too far past, did they not arrest someone who had unprotected sex, and was HIV/AIDS infected?
“HIV positive”
Yeah... unlimited supplies of cocaine and hookers will do that to you.
It makes me believe that all my unanswered prayers for greater wealth were actually a blessing.
That guy has always made my skin crawl. Always trust your gut. *SHUDDER*
