Charlie Sheen’s character and personality is larger than life. While he has given us some of the best pop-culture moments and phrases we still use, in 2015 the Two and a Half Men star announced he was HIV positive. Sheen’s serious health concerns date back to 1998 when he suffered a stroke. Sheen’s personal life, including his drug and substance use, has been publicly noted and discussed. Ex-wife Denise Richards filed for a divorce from Sheen stating that the actor suffered from alcohol and drug abuse. Though he admits to being diagnosed in 2011, in 2015 Sheen’s HIV positive status became public. He has also stated since his diagnosis, that he’s had to pay people approximately $10 million dollars to not disclose his medical condition.
