Charlie Sheen has admitted he is HIV positive.
It’s started.
The expected backlash against Charlie Sheen’s HIV announcement has begun with the first of his ex-lovers coming forward to claim that she was never informed of Sheen’s diagnosis.
Overnight the 50-year old Hollywood star confirmed he is HIV positive in a sit-down interview with Matt Lauer of US morning show Today.
Appearing live, Sheen told Lauer he was diagnosed with the condition four years ago after suffering a series of debilitating “cluster headaches and migraines.”
He also claimed he was going public with his diagnosis after paying “millions” of dollars in extortion payments to individuals who threatened to reveal his HIV positive status to the media.
Sheen told Lauer he has informed all of his ex-partners of his HIV status.
“Have you, since the time of your diagnosis, told every one of your sexual partners before you had a sexual encounter you were HIV-positive?” Lauer asked.
“Yes, I have,” Sheen replied, adding, “No exceptions.”
Bree Olsen, a 29-year old former porn star who lived with Sheen along with another woman, claims that is untrue.
Olsen appeared on The Howard Stern Show, after promoting it on her Facebook page, claiming that he never told her about his diagnosis.
“I watched, right before I came in here … the interviewer asked him: ‘Was this during the tiger blood thing, is this because of that?’ And he even admittedly said, he’s like: ‘Well, I don’t know if it’s necessarily because of that,’ ” Olson said.

Moral of the story is don't sleep with man-whores. I have done some 'research' and Bree Olson is an experienced woman and should know better.
“What’s the chances … that you both went and got tested before doing a move-in, live-in situation with one another?” she asks.
Honestly? Love, take some responsibility. You are a grown woman and a porn actress at that, who had another woman living with you in a threesome arrangement with a Hollywood boyfriend 21 years older who’d been promiscuous with women, prostitutes and porn stars before you. Not to mention the drugs. What were the chances huh?
I am ‘just’ an ordinary 30-something woman who asked my boyfriend to get full checks and tests done in advance of
even giving him oral sex to make sure we were all good. My boyfriend is a very ‘nice, sensible’ type, but even I couldn’t vouch for his choices in the past. A good thing I did ask him because – even though he got the all-clear – as it turns out, apart from a couple of more casual encounters, he’d always just focused on contraception not STIs, relying on the woman who has had ‘the shot’ on been on the pill. He is a condom-loather.
That to me is risky behaviour on his part and on his former partners’. However, I believe a lot of men take his approach. If someone (man or woman) doesn’t use a condom with you or won’t get tests and checks done, assume that this is their usual habit. I asked my boyfriend as I have always been careful and very proactive with all aspects of my health. I wasn’t going to out that at risk for the sake of not bringing up a slightly awkward topic and request with a guy I liked a lot. Tough cookies otherwise! And, he had no issues with getting the test done. We went to bed with clear minds and full confidence. That's sexy as hell.
Look after yourselves well, people! If you can't ask a new partner (upfront, not after the deed/ relationship) to get checked out or discuss your sexual health openly, then they don't value you enough, or you're not mature enough to be going bed with anyone.
