That didn’t stop Lauer from grilling Sheen regarding claims that he had engaged in sexual intercourse with women without informing them of his status, whether using protection or not. “It’s one shot a week”, Mr Sheen said. “There’s no depression, there’s no shades of dementia – this is the future of treatment”. “I regret ruining ‘Two and a Half Men.’ I regret not being more involved in my children’s lives growing up which I am now”, Sheen said during Matt Lauer’s interview.
After his initial diagnosis, Sheen received criticism for seeking treatment from a controversial healer in Mexico who claims he has a cure for HIV/AIDS. “I regret not being involved in my children’s lives, which I am now”.
“I regret not using a condom the one or two times when this whole thing happened”. “We can only move forward from today”.
In an interview with journalist and TV presenter Piers Morgan at a one-off event at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London, Sheen, 50, admitted he had not always told his partners about his sexually transmitted disease, but said he had not had sex without protection. “And no one has been infected”.
Asked if he had put anyone else at risk by having unprotected sex, Sheen said: ” I never did. “The change isn’t just physical but psychological and emotional”, he told Lauer.

“He’s hurting a lot of good and decent people”, said Sheen. However, Sheen insists that the time he spent under the said Mexican doctor’s care amounted to one day, after which Sheen denounced his practices vehemently over Twitter. The actor says he was given a myriad of bogus treatments, including being injected with milk from “arthritic goats”, and now claims the healer is a “criminal”, liar and “charlatan”. “I am undetectable as I sit here today”.
