TMZ
has reported that Charlie Sheen once had HIV, but that it is no longer
detectable.
The site's sources said that the actor contracted
the disease two years ago, while others say he has known about it for "way
longer than that." Apparently, he received treatment and medication for
the disease and now allegedly claims that it's undetectable in blood tests.
At issue here is whether Sheen told sexual partners after he
was allegedly diagnosed with HIV that he had the disease or if he didn't tell
them because he believed he had beat it.
Earlier on Monday, TMZ and other media said that they
confirmed an Enquirer report that the actor is HIV-positive.
"Today" sent a release to media on Monday
announcing that Sheen will make "a revealing personal announcement"
on the show. More media sites were
quick to confirm with sourcesthat Sheen had indeed planned to speak about
the rumored disease on "Today."
He has been married three times, most recently to Brooke
Mueller from 2008 to 2011. He has five children.
Sheen, 50, has battled substance abuse and admitted to
having sex with prostitutes.
Sheen's reportedly unpredictable behavior and public fights
with "Two and a Half Men" cocreator Chuck Lorre led to his firing from the series in early 2011. He
then went on to FX's appropriately titled "Anger Management" comedy
for 100 episodes, spanning two seasons. Most recently, he appeared on the
"Ferris Bueller" episode of ABC's "The Goldbergs" in
February.
There's no known cure for HIV, but it's possible Sheen's
virus isn't detectable due to medication.
