Charlie Sheen
After Charlie Sheen's interview with Matt Lauer on the "Today Show" where he confirmed he is HIV positive and informed all his sex partners prior to having sexual intercourse with them, some are going on record publicly disagreeing the Hollywood actor's claims. Porn stars Sheen had sex with on a daily basis, such as Bree Olson and Natalie Kenly, have come forward complaining he never told them he is HIV positive, but had sex with them anyway when they lived with him for a year. Olson stated she had "high risk sex" with Sheen for a year, using less secure "lambskin condoms" that provide no protection against HIV. Olson stated on occasion she had sex with Sheen without any protection at all.
Olson stated in response to Sheen's claims he told his sex partners he is HIV positive, "Bulls**t! "He doesn't even value my life...if someone goes without knowing, and there's plenty of girls I'm sure he's had in his life where they don't go get tested regularly like I do with the types of lives that they lead.
When it turns into AIDS then it turns into a whole different ballgame. I haven't even thought about anything, but all I know right now is now because of him anytime someone hears my name they think of HIV right next to it." Sheen does not know exactly when he contracted the virus or from whom.
In many U.S. states it is illegal to have sex with someone and not inform them prior to sexual intercourse that one is HIV positive. People have been prosecuted and imprisoned in America for said conduct (Athlete Who Spread HIV To Unknowing Sexual Partners Sentenced To 60-Years In Prison). You can't gamble with people's lives like that. They deserve the right to know your status.

Sheen also made misleading claims during the "Today Show" interview stating his HIV viral load is so low and "undetectable" it was deemed okay for him to have protected sex under the supervision of his physician. "Today Show" host Matt Lauer did correct him on said statements, citing CDC information regarding changing viral loads and the possibility of transmission to uninfected people.
Sheen and his doctor's statements are grossly misleading and dangerous. Even with a low or "undetectable" viral load, one can still pass the HIV virus on to others during unprotected sex or protected sex (accidents happen, condoms tear and slip). The risk is lower, but make no mistake, it still exists. It is wrong to go on television and make such dangerous claims that others will follow to their detriment and that of public health in general.
Sheen is actually having unprotected sex with people and making the dangerous claim his viral load is too low to transmit HIV, which is wrong. It can happen, even with the use of medicines such as Truvada, meant to decrease a healthy person's chances of contracting HIV from a known carrier (however, the makers of Truvada do not endorse unprotected sex). Not to mention, exposure to HIV positive bodily fluids negatively affects the immune system of health people, regardless of how low the viral load (the disease is still present, but in a weakened form).

Bree Olson Claims He Never Told Her He Is HIV-Positive
"He doesn't even value my life...if someone goes without knowing, and there's plenty of girls I'm sure he's had in his life where they don't go get tested regularly like I do with the types of lives that they lead," said Olson, who said she had high-risk sex with Sheen, who used lambskin condoms. "When it turns into AIDS then it turns into a whole different ballgame."
Host Howard Stern asked her if she's going to confront him about the news, but Olson said she has been too upset to focus on anything. "I haven't even thought about anything, but all I know right now is now because of him anytime someone hears my name they think of HIV right next to it," she said.
But Sheen told Matt Lauer that since his diagnosis he has had unprotected sex with only two women but insisted they were seeking medical attention to make sure everything was safe. "The two people that I did it with were under the care of my doctor and they were completely warned ahead of time," Sheen explained...
