Charlie Sheen is reportedly set to reveal that he in-fact has contracted HIV. News of an “unnamed actor” afflicted with the potentially deadly disease had been recently swerling in the news.
Sources close to the actor confirmed that Sheen is expected to reveal that he’s HIV positive during a sit-down interview with Matt Lauer. In a press release announcing the interview, NBC touted Sheen’s appearance as containing a “revealing personal announcement.”
Sheen has neither confirmed nor denied these claims, though he’s clearly set to make some sort of announcement on Tuesday. TMZ’s report comes just hours after tabloids (including the National Enquirer) started circulating a story with claims that Sheen has been keeping the diagnosis “secret for years.” According to their predictably unnamed sources, Sheen has already started treatment. h/t complex
