    Could anyone possibly be surprised it's Charlie Sheen?

    And to think, there were some people who actually paid good money to see him in person when he went on that retarded publicity tour a few years ago. Definitely proves Americans are stupid.

    IIRC, herpes isn't spread unless you have active sores at the time of sexual contact.

    But to be honest haven't been in a sex ed class since 1983. And then there was no point for me anyway. By the time it became useful information 15 years had passed.

    Has Sheen developed AIDS or is he just HIV positive? Although the latter can lead to the former, treatment usually prevents it.

    So.... Dayton's saying everything he knows about sex, he learned in sex ed class. No wonder he dislikes it so much.

    I'm more surprised that Charlie Sheen is still an A list actor.

    Of course.

    How would you suggest someone learn about it?

    There are several unreliable assumptions in that statement.

    That creates a legal incentive for people to not get tested, so they can maintain plausible deniability.

    It used to be thought that way. But there's a period immediately preceding a noticeable outbreak where one is contagious.

    It is Charlie Sheen. And no one should be surprised.

    EDIT: Someone else said this above, and they are brilliant.

    He's HIV positive, but that doesn't make for the same screaming headlines and stupid rumors as full-blown AIDS, so there's that.

    He could do something useful with his life and become a spokesman for "Don't be stupid like me...be safe, get tested, etc."

    His parents produced three sane, productive children, and Charlie. :jayzus:

    The only AIDS headline lately is about an alcoholism drug

    A drug that’s used to treat alcoholism has been found to activate dormant HIV cells, dragging them out of hiding so they can be destroyed. When given to 30 HIV positive patients in the US and Australia in a three-day trial, the common anti-alcohol drug, disulfiram, appears to ‘wake up’ HIV cells without causing any harmful side-effects.

    Sold commercially as Antabuse, the drug causes people to vomit when they consume alcohol, winch makes a pretty strong case to never drink again. But now it seems it can also overcome one of the greatest hurdles to curing HIV/AIDS: HIV latency.


    HIV latency allows the virus to lay dormant and undetected in various hiding places around the body, safe from the effects of current antiretroviral drugs (ART) that can only treat HIV cells in the bloodstream.

    Scientists had already identified a class of drugs called histone deacetylase that can kick dormant HIV cells into gear, but they inflict too many toxic side effectsto be a viable treatment option. That’s what makes disulfiram so promising - no harmful side-effects have been detected.

    "This trial clearly demonstrates that disulfiram is not toxic and is safe to use, and could quite possibly be the game changer we need," lead researcher, Sharon Lewin from the University of Melbourne in Australia, told Reuters. "The dosage of disulfiram we used provided more of a tickle than a kick to the virus, but this could be enough. Even though the drug was only given for three days, we saw a clear increase in [the] virus in [blood] plasma, which was very encouraging."

    Current antiretroviral drugs can keep HIV cells in the blood in check, but patients have to take them for the rest of their lives in case the dormant virus re-emerges. Disulfiram appears to flush everything out into the open, which is just the first step in the search for a cure.

    Tell me that Charlie Sheen wasn't the reason they were studying HIV and treatments for alcoholism.

    In fairness, he has claimed that he didn't have sex with anyone who wasn't fully aware of the situation.

    There are already over 10 women who say Sheen never told them he had HIV (he had already been diagnosed as HIV positive) but he had unprotected sex with them.

    Quick thought - why in the world would ANY woman with more than two working brain cells have unprotected sex with Charlie Sheen under any circumstances? :calli: That's pretty much pushing the common sense envelope if you ask me.

    A lot of women seem to see a bad boy with a boat load of money and think "he will change for me, I can make him change." When the reality is he is just a rich narcissiste who does not give a shit about anyone except himself and he literally does not even care if they die because he already has the disease and cares nothing about them other than him having an orgasm.

    He belongs in jail for deliberately risking people's lives.

    Now we need to find out which of Sheen's fuck buddies later got drugged by Bill Cosby. Maybe there was a purpose to it! :yes:

    So, the view was on at work, and i sqw that Jenny McCarthy is one of those potential love interests that he forgot to tell.

    I don't wish HIV on anyone, but I won't slam @TheLonelySquire for laughing at her in this instance. :shrug:
