Charlie Sheen's dark, shocking HIV-laden secret is finally out.
Two weeks ago, there was a blind item on Radar Online that made people very curious. In the article, the publication revealed that a popular Hollywood actor has been tested positive for the AIDS-causing HIV virus.
It was stated that the star is middle-aged man who is a known playboy. He had relationships with women who are actors, journalists, models and the list goes on. He also had many scandalous encounters with porn stars and even prostitutes.
Radar Online also wrote that the actor knew that he was infected with the virus, but chose to keep it a secret for fear that fans would leave him. It was added that the actor managed to hide his condition for at least two years.
With his vast history when it comes to sex, women, drugs and seemingly careless lifestyle, it is no wonder that his years of perversion has finally caught up with him.

And as if to prove their claim, they also announced that the actor is scheduled to appear on Today for an exclusive interview with Matt Lauer. It was said that Sheen will finally spill the beans and tell it all to the public.
The producers of the show also tweeted about the upcoming interview:

As the story about Sheen being HIV virus carrier, many speculations began to emerge and one such report said that the actor tried to cover up his HIV diagnosis.
