Charlie Sheen Stopped Taking His HIV Meds, But He’s Back On

“I have a responsibility now to better myself and to help a lot of other people and hopefully with what we’re doing today others will come forward and say, ‘Thanks, Charlie, ‘” Sheen said at the end of the interview.

“It’s an incredible weight that has been lifted”, Sheen told Dr. Oz about the sense of relief he felt after announcing to the world that he has HIV. “I’d been non-detectable”, 50-year-old Sheen said.

Actor Charlie Sheen, who revealed in November that he is HIV-positive, says he stopped taking his medications and began undergoing unspecified treatment in Mexico – though his manager later clarified it was only a temporary suspension. “That part of it doesn’t phase me at all”, Sheen was quoted as saying by People.

Sheen also told Dr Oz that prior to his diagnosis, he had abstained from drinking alcohol for 11 years.

Sheen gave Oz a look at what his daily treatment regimen looks like – a combination of three oral pills he affectionately calls “Seal Team Six”. “He tried a cure from a doctor in Mexico but the minute the numbers (blood check) went up, he started taking his medicine”.

Meanwhile, Sheen also admitted that he regrets taking so long to do something about his disease once he was diagnosed. Since the actor did, Martin said he can not be even prouder of his son’s courage, Naples News reported. Later he claimed that it had been non detectable, and checking his blood every week then he found out that the numbers were up again.

“I didn’t see it as Russian roulette”.

“We have a chance to reverse the course of this HIV epidemic by implementing fast-acting and effective evidence-based strategies”, said Dr. Kara Wools-Kaloustian, an associate professor of medicine at the University of IN, IN a press release. “More importantly, identifying and connecting people with HIV infection to treatment early on will keep them healthy and will prevent them from developing AIDS or dying of HIV disease”.

And it gets stranger, much stranger, when Chachoua reveals in a taped segment that he then injected himself with some of Charlie Sheen’s blood in the presence of Sheen.

Oz and Sheen’s USA physician, Dr. Robert Huizenga, who was sitting in the audience, pleaded with Sheen to resume his meds.
