Bragman is said to have stated that many people in Sheen’s life already knew about it but, he he has reservations and concerns about his past sexual partners who did not know. The publicist also revealed that it was quite tough for Sheen to publicly talk about his ailment and that he is not comfortable about going public about testing positive for HIV.

Police visited Charlie Sheen’s home yesterday as he reportedly prepares to open up about his HIV status on TV.
Charlie is set to sit down with Matt Lauer later today to reveal “a personal announcement”. We’re told Charlie was taking meds for HIV and has had a series of blood tests, and over time, the virus has been “undetectable” in his system… “I’ve known about this a long time, it’s not a surprise to me”, Bragman stated of the news.
If the speculation about Charlie’s illness is confirmed to be true, we hope that, through bravely speaking out about this bad diesase, Charlie can at least raise public awareness to support sufferers around the world.
