Former "Two and A Half Men" television star Charlie Sheen said on Tuesday he is HIV positive.
Charlie Sheen, 50, told NBC's "Today" show he was diagnosed about four years ago with HIV and said the reason he disclosed the information was because he was being blackmailed.
"I am here to admit that I am in fact HIV positive," Sheen said, saying he was "not entirely sure" how he acquired the virus.
"It's a hard three letters to absorb," he added.
Sheen, who is three times divorced, played the womanizing bachelor Charlie Harper on top-rated U.S . . .
