The diagnosis
Charlie Sheen said he was diagnosed roughly four years ago but doesn't know how he contracted it.
The first symptoms
"It started with what I thought was a series of crushing headaches," he said. "I thought I had a brain tumor. I thought it was over." After multiple tests he was told he was HIV-positive. “It’s a hard three letters to absorb.”
The scandal
While being sick should not be a scandal, according to the National Enquirer, the outlet that broke the story, is that Sheen has known he is HIV positive for years, and didn't disclose the information to many of his sexual partners.
His partners
He says he only had unprotected sex with two people after the diagnosis, who are under his doctor's care, but didn't clarify if they are infected as well. The rest of his partners are OK, he said. Sheen also insisted that it's "impossible" that somebody gets the HIV virus from him if they use protection.
Brett Rossi
Brett Rosi was his last known relationship. The actor and the porn star were engaged for six months in 2014. He broke it off alleging his kids needed him more. A couple of weeks ago, Rossi published a video on social media accusing him of domestic violence. I hope she was not infected.
It was a gruesome video
"You choked me out, you threw me on the floor, you dragged me around like a rag doll, you told me what a piece of sh*t I was all the time. F*ck you", she said in the video.
The goddesses
During his meltdown in 2011, Sheen was living with two adult film stars, Natalie Kenly and Bree Olsen. Both traveled with him during this infamous Torpedo of Truth Tour.
Bree Olson
Bree Olson, a porn star, was the first one to break up with Sheen.
An amicable split
Olson sang his praises, particularly in bed, when she announced in 2012 that she wanted to leave the adult movie industry for more mainstream productions.
Olson´s first reaction
Nataly Kenly
The model left Sheen before the end of 2011. She's disappeared from the public eye since then.
Brooke Mueller
Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller were married between 2008 and 2011. They have six year-old twins. It has been said that Sheen's diagnosis was what gave Mueller a nervous breakdown, which sent her in a drug addiction spiral.
