    I didn't see the whole interview but what struck me is that he made it clear that it's still safe to have sex with him as long as he wears protection. He doesn't want HIV to curb his wild sex life. Amusing

    Well that is true though. It would be safe to have sex with him as long as he wears protection. I really don't know his motives for coming public with such information, but perhaps it is to clear up stereotypes about this disease since it really hasn't been a media talking point for a long time.

    Looks like he said he has paid a lot of hush money to keep it quiet so this announcement puts the kibosh on that.

    I think he came public now because it was about to break. National Enquirer was coming out with it for sure

    Is blackmail okay if the person being blackmailed isn't likable?

    I'm not sure to what you're referring. I would say it depends on the circumstances. Is he claiming that someone blackmailed him?

    He did say that he hasn't used a condom a couple of times since his diagnosis but that it's "impossible" that his partner(s) could have been infected.

    That's not cool.

    He is saying he has paid out $10 million.

    He says part of the reason for going public was to stop the barrage of “shakedowns,” telling Lauer one prostitute even took a cell phone picture of his HIV drugs in his medicine cabinet and threatened to sell it to the tabloids.

    “That is money taken away from my kids,” said Sheen, who admitted to Lauer he expects some of his former sex partners to file lawsuits.

    “Are you still paying some of these people?” Lauer asked.

    “Not after today I’m not,” he said.

    Given the example you posted, no, that's not OK but what do you expect from prostitutes? If he's really as cool as he thinks, why does he have to get it from prostitutes?

    Charlie Sheen's been known to say that he doesn't pay prostitutes for sex. He pays them to leave afterwards. (that quote is probably not original to him, though)

    So, scientists think Antabuse, a drug used in treating alcoholics, may eradicate the HIV virus. If it does work I wonder if Charlie could give up drinking to get cured?

    How much money does he have? It almost sounds like $10 million is just a nuisance.

    I may be wrong but I think I read an article awhile back that with the new drug treatments HIV essentially completely disappears and can't be transmitted. I know it's pretty amazing what they have been able to do with the disease.
