The Anger Management star confirmed he was diagnosed with the virus four years ago during an interview with the NBC Today show on Tuesday morning.

Olson served as one of Sheen’s “goddesses” during the actor’s tiger blood-induced meltdown in 2011.
She said: “Charlie, when I married him, he wasn’t a bad boy”. Since then Sheen says he’s paid people who’ve known about his HIV status millions of dollars to stay quiet, but when asked if he is still paying a few of those people, he said: “Not after today, I’m not”.
She told Howard Stern that Sheen never told her, and she only learnt about it on Tuesday, with the rest of the world.
Listing “what hurt the most since the Charlie Sheen stuff started coming out”, she wrote: “Seeing Heather Locklear post an Instagram picture of herself with Charlie saying “my heart hurts”.
Olson, who said she has since tested negative for HIV, made similar statements to entertainment TV show Inside Edition.
Sheen said all of his sexual partners, including paid escorts, were aware of his HIV status when they engaged in sexual activity with him. “Because it’s not. I thought that we as a society had moved beyond that – beyond the stigma”.
“I, myself have been to my gynaecologist at least once a year since we split up and have always been tested across the board for everything and have came back clean across the board every time”.
Denise and Charlie fell in love and married during a sober period of his life and she admitted his relapse took a toll on their relationship.
In the state of California it is a felony punishable by up to eight years in prison for a person to have unprotected sex with someone with the intent to infect them and not disclose their status.
TMZ is reporting that already six of Sheen’s former sexual partners are planning to sue the actor for “intentional infliction of emotional distress, fraud and sexual battery”.
The Enquirer’s sister site, Radar Online, had previously reported that an unnamed Hollywood star had unprotected sex for four months with his ex-fiancée before revealing his diagnosis.
Asked if she wants an apology from him, she said: “I don’t want it. I’d say, ‘F– you!’ and hang up the phone”.
“What people forget is that’s money they’re taking from my child…it’s not just me”.

It is never “impossible” for someone who is HIV positive to infect people through sex.
