Charlie Sheen: I’m Not The Only HIV Positive Star

Charlie Sheen has horrified Hollywood with a shocking rant about other major stars hiding their HIV status. “I know who they are," he said during a radio interview, “but  I will take that to my grave!" That's a comfort to some big showbiz names, but also a disturbing reminder of how Sheen himself hid his deadly HIV status — until his secret was exposed in a bombshell scoop by The National ENQUIRER!

Sheen famously confirmed The ENQUIRER’s scoop in 2015 that he’d tested positive for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus that leads to AIDS. The news came as a horrifying shock to nearly all of the volatile actor's many lovers over the years. The star of "Two and a Half Men" had taken advantage of the medical miracles that had allowed him to stay in shape and look perfectly healthy to the rest of Hollywood!

The star's ability to hide his illness was in shocking contrast to stars like Rock Hudson and Anthony Perkins, who showed the strain of AIDS-related illnesses while aging in front of the cameras. Other showbiz figures like "Brady Bunch" dad Robert Reed and "Gunsmoke" beauty Amanda Blake managed to hide their HIV-positive status until after their deaths — much like rock stars Prince and George Michael, who each shocked their fans when they passed away in 2016.

Sheen didn't seem concerned about helping actors hide their HIV status — and even mocked Jenny McCarthy for complaining that he hadn't told her about his medical issue while filming scenes together in 2010. An outraged Jenny compared the betrayal to how she was expected to reveal if she had a cold sore before kissing a costar. Charlie mocked the blonde, laughing: "She's like, 'I kissed him! I touched him!' And I was like, 'Bitch, your math sucks, I didn't have it then!"
