The news of Charlie Sheen’s HIV diagnosis has been swirling on social media and throughout the press. But, there are so many questions we have? How long has Sheen had the disease? How did he contract the disease? Who gave him HIV if it was contracted from a person? The questions go on and on and the answers have not been reported. We can, however, do a little math. According to Sheen, he contracted the disease four years ago, which means he was diagnosed in 2011, a year when he was with a ton of women, many of whom were porn stars. In turn, Sheen could have potentially passed on the disease to countless women. In fact, Radar Online reports that there are multiple lawsuits that are related to Sheen’s illness that have been kept secret and a source states that:

Charlie had sex with multiple partners since learning his HIV status without informing them of his potentially deadly HIV infection … There are tons of girls that get a regular check from Charlie.

Sheen has admitted to spending approximately $10 million in “hush money” as some people were blackmailing him, threatening to release the information about his having HIV. Charlie Sheen said that because of this, his financial situation is “not great” and he’s decided to come out to the public. He also admitted to having unprotected sex with two women since his diagnosis. He told Matt Lauer on The Today Show that they were aware of his illness and were under the care of his personal doctor.

Bree Olson was one of the former porn stars who shared a sexual relationship with Sheen in 2011 and she told Howard Stern that she was unaware Sheen had HIV. She has made a statement online in response to Sheen’s diagnosis announcement, saying that:

There are speculations circling that one of my ex boyfriends from years ago may have contracted the HIV virus … They are rumors and I know nothing more than anyone else. I, myself have been to my gynecologist at least once a year since we split up and have always been tested across the board for everything and have came back clean across the board every time.

Other women that Sheen is reported to have been in sexual relationships throughout 2011 include Natalie Kenly, Kacey Jordan, Capri Anderson, Melanie Rios, Brooke Mueller, and countless others as Sheen has bragged that he’s had sex with over 5,000 women.
