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.

I'd bet though, if he got clean and started to live a boring, normal life he could live another 25 years. Though the normal, boring life would probably kill him.
Oh My; what a shocker, the Tiger has Distemper.
ROLLING ON FLOOR, LAUGHING MY ASS OFF.
“It makes me believe that all my unanswered prayers for greater wealth were actually a blessing.”
I’m right there with you on that one.
He could have mentioned it to them privately.
Clearly, I meant no one in the wider world. My statement holds.
Be Sure Your Sin Will Find You Out!
“Winning” the wages of sin.
I can’t even imagine what he’s done. I did however, watch his youtube “tiger blood” stuff when he did it live. He seemed wild. I hope his kids aren’t HIV positive.
I don’t remember hearing if his brother Emilio Estevez (Sheen) was ever wild like Charlie.
True.
I’ve never considered him much of an actor or comedian. The premise of 2 men and a child was repugnant to me and it should have been considered a prime example of child abuse for the situations the ‘2 men’ exposed the young boy to.
And for his medical condition: he made his bed and now has to lay in it.
Unfortunately so will others.
Yes they will and perhaps he will realize the harm he has done, but I’m not ‘holding my breath’.
Interesting family. I got to spend a few days around his dad and Emilio’s daughter. Both very classy people...and I say that as someone who disagrees with Ramon’s politics.
IIRC Martin is a devout Catholic who attends Mass everyday, and yes his politics are a bit misguided.
He started out with a very promising career and his early work is very good, especially “Platoon” & “Wall Street”.
He and Robert Downy, Jr. seemed headed to same place except by all accounts Downy pulled himself out of the Abyss, put his career back on track and is now successful beyond his wildest dreams. I am sorry Charlie did not do likewise. I have always liked him and his movies, was not into Two & A Half Men so much. All you can do is pray for the guy.
...undetectable level of the virus in his blood?
Then how was it detected?
Imagine no one will want to sleep with Denise Richards now or anyone else er... male, tranny, female he has had sex with. ICK! ICK! ICK! He is a Kardashian.
If the true number of hollywoodenheads who are HIV positive were revealed, I wouldn’t be surprised.
Wait a tic...Hollyweird has made a huge deal out of making HIV hip and cool, but they resort to succumbing to blackmail to keep their own HIV secret....
I heard a GF caught him looking at Tranny porn and dumped him because of it, if he actually touched one.....
Charlie Charlie Charlie. From a star to a black hole.
Sheen has a long history with hookers, strippers etc.
