    If what's true? If he's HIV+?

    Why are people assuming he's been sleeping with women without disclosing this?

    Because I think we can be fairly sure it would have been known about before now if so. Would you have a one-night stand with someone that you knew was HIV+?

    They will def try to spin it in a sympathetic way no doubt about it. His tell all to Matt Lauer of all people will be his attempt in getting public (specifically American) sympathy. I'm guessing he's trying to take the Caitlin Jenner route of revealing all in an honest and heartfelt documentary so that people feel you've invited them in to your secret and thus they owe you some kind of sympathy and admiration. Hopefully people will be smarter than that if it is the case that he, while knowing he had this, continued to have unprotected sex with hundreds of women.

    That's a ridiculous comment. Not many would agree with it I'd say

    Yep. I'd say as soon as a woman comes forward and says she slept with him and now she's HIV+, the worm will turn viciously on Sheen.

    But it's stupid of anyone to have unprotected sex with anyone apart from their partner - whether you know their STD status or not, so I hope people were copped on enough not to.

    People aren't always sensible, and celeb status sometimes means they get to make demands that joe bloggs wouldn't. The women might assume that that they're on the pill will protect them from worst consequences, but never dream that someone - even a bat**** nut like Sheen - would sleep with them unprotected knowing he had HIV.

    Do you not still need to look after yourself though to keep the viral load down and not drink and take drugs to the extent that Charlie Sheen does?

    Even if there is no risk of passing it on, your partners still have a right to know. According to one of his exes, he has slept with around 50 porn stars that she knows of. That's just another level of selfishness.

    Ideally. But its not 100% necessary. You can still drink/use drugs while being undetectable. Its not ideal as some HIV drugs can be harsh on the liver.

    Or you can take responsibly for having sex yourself and assume everyone you have sex with is positive. There is no excuse for anyone who is in a non-committed relationship for not using condoms.

    Admired him for what?

    Don't high end porn stars and prostitutes get tested regularly for STD?

    She's got the results. Should she not be relieved? :eek:

    I don't agree with it. Just saying that plenty of people will view adult entertainment stars and prostitutes in a not very sympathetic light. They will probably feel sorry for Sheen for being infected in the first place rather than for any of these women he put at risk.

    The chances of anyone that is high end getting it from him and giving it to anyone else might be reasonably small.

    Nevermind what she did for a living, no one deserves AIDS especially not for someone else's recklessness.

    "Classy" is what your post is.

    Did I say she deserved aids?!? Jesus christ!! I'm saying what's "classy" is the fact she's broadcasting this to the world and seemingly trying to cash in or get attention from the whole thing. I don't care that she was a porn star, that's neither here nor there, she could work in Starbucks and Id still say "wow, classy" to the fact she's broadcasting her business like that to the world.

    They do and for that reason having sex with porn stars is statistically safer than having casual sex with randomers.

    Bree however retired from porn around 4 years ago and so I guess she might not have been tested in the interim, and HIV does have an incubation period of six months or so.

    Anna, I'm laughing here to myself at the fact you think that tweet showed that Bree doesn't have much class. Trust me, that me tweet was one of Bree's classiest, and I say that as someone who likes her :P

    I can't link to it here, as I reckon I'd get banned or infracted or something, but Google the following and then bless yourself.

    Bear in mind now that when you find the above you will have to burn your harddrive and throw your laptop off a pier.

    I hope she keeps getting tested regularly even though she's out the business. Sadly there is no winners in this situation though. For all we know Charlie Sheen could have gone into denial and shock following his diagnosis. He may have gone through a stage where he honestly thought it wasn't happening to him.

    Yeah I knew exactly what you meant cause i thought the same thing. Tweeting about it the night before he's doing his big "reveal". Tweeting would be the last thing on my mind if I was in that position and imo it does seem a bit tacky. God love her and all for the situation she's in but posting it on social media in that way just doesn't sit right with me personally.

    She didn't just tweet about it, she tweeted that she had just 'recorded' herself having the test. $$$$

    Yeah I actually didn't understand that part :o so it did actually mean that she recorded the process like it was some kind of entertainment? Even though a few tweets (?) down there is a post about being tested at least twice a year and being clean? It's just weird
