Charlie Sheen Resolves HIV Lawsuit With Former Partner

Actor Charlie Sheen has reached a settlement in a lawsuit brought against him by an ex-girlfriend who claimed that he knowingly exposed her to HIV during unprotected s**ual encounters.

According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Sheen has agreed to pay the woman a total of $120,000, with monthly installments of $10,000.

The woman, referred to as Jane Doe in the legal filings, is described as a “Russian émigré” by Page Six.

She stated that she entered into a s**ual relationship with Sheen in September 2015, initially using condoms.

However, they stopped using protection within two months.

Prior to engaging in condomless s**, the woman allegedly asked Sheen if he had any s**ually transmitted infections, to which he responded that he was “fine.”

After their encounter, Sheen reportedly disclosed that he was HIV positive and had been aware of his status since 2011.

The woman sought medical care from an emergency room as a precautionary measure.

When confronted, Sheen purportedly dismissed the need for antiretroviral medications, claiming they were merely “convenient rumors” spread by the medical community.

After publicly revealing his HIV status during an interview with Matt Lauer on Today in November 2015, Sheen gained international attention and became one of the most well-known individuals openly living with HIV.

However, his disclosure was met with controversy, as several women accused him of failing to disclose his status and endangering their health.

Sheen also promoted unproven medical treatments and alternative therapies.

For more insights, activist Peter Staley wrote a blog post titled “Charlie Sheen Shits on 30 Years of AIDS Activism” in January 2016, available on the POZ blog.

Despite the negative aspects surrounding Sheen's case, it did contribute to an increase in sales of home HIV testing kits, highlighting the importance of testing and awareness.

It is important to note that condomless s** does not necessarily equate to unprotected or unsafe s**.

When a person living with HIV takes antiretroviral medications and effectively suppresses the virus to undetectable levels, they cannot transmit HIV s**ually.

This concept, known as “Undetectable Equals Untransmittable” or U=U, gained significant recognition after a group of advocates and researchers launched the U=U movement in 2016.

Supported by extensive scientific evidence, the campaign has since become global.

The POZ blog features various articles and testimonies related to U=U.

The reports on Sheen's lawsuit do not specify whether his viral load was suppressed during the alleged unprotected s**ual encounters.
