i just assumed it was Charlie Sheen. Hope not, he has 5 kids..

People Magazine is saying it is Charlie Sheen and they are pretty accurate.

How sad for his whole family especially the children.

I think Charlie Sheen's past has more secrets then being HIV positive ...

I feel terrible for his children - for so many reasons. I knew it was him when I heard the headlines. Also, a lot of the women he "dates" are in porn. I have to wonder how many people this has now impacted...

Yep its him, I just received an EONLINE email.....I am not surprised-how sad though for him, and everyone affected......It's very sad!

Well - I'm glad the mystery is over.  I mean, really - this has been weird, to say the least.   

 I didn't see the list of 'nots' because it was one ginormous paragraph and that makes my eyes cross, but it's amazing how many people figured this out so quickly!

The description, without naming the person, pretty much described Charlie to a "tee" except for being a great actor part.

I knew he'd been looking really gaunt a while back. This would explain it. I wonder if this is why Denise Richards was raising his twins for a while at the time their mother was in rehab.  The People article says he's had it for a while now.

Here is the link to the People article about it:

It WAS the great actor part that would have made me NOT think of him.  His dad - yes!  But not him, near as I have seen.  

I guess the good thing for him is that you can live out a full live being HIV positive and now, even having full-blown AIDS.  But HIV positive is a far  sight from AIDS so all he needs to do is not pass it on.  IIRC you can be only HIV positive and actually end up giving somebody else AIDS.  I think it's kind of a crapshoot.

Too bad, just announced on local news.  MJ has been living with HIV for years.  Announced it while married.  Seems like he is looked up to by the sports world and beyond.. Now you can live a long time with it and especially if you are rich to afford the meds.

Should not be judged, because it could have happened to anyone. In early years with blood transfusions.  In the medical field when I was working as a BILLER for MEDICAID, a female patient who had been a health nut, did everything right, got AIDS from her husband who was cheating.  So anyone can contact it, even being careful. Of course Charlie played Russian roulette with his life.

He'll probably say he got it from sharing needles.
