Charlie Sheen says other Hollywood stars are living with HIV

Charlie Sheen has spilled a fair few secrets this week but confessed he has a few more that he will “take to the grave”.

The actor says he knows of other stars in Hollywood who are secretly living with HIV.

Sheen, 51, is HIV positive and insisted there are a number of celebrities living with the human immunodeficiency virus – which is the agent of the currently-incurable disease AIDS – in secret.

The controversial actor was interviewed on Wednesday on The Kyle and Jackie O Show and refused to reveal his peers’ names, saying “I know who they are. But I will take that to my grave.”

He dropped a few other bombshells too, including the tidbit that Lady Gaga once offered to give him a naked lap dance.

Meanwhile, Sheen admitted back in January that he wanted to kill himself after he was diagnosed with HIV in 2011.

The former Two and A Half Men star was devestated when doctors told him that he was infected and told Good Morning America: “The day I was diagnosed, I immediately wanted to eat a bullet. But my mom was there, I wouldn’t do that in front of her, or let her find me to clean up that mess.”

Despite the initial fear he felt after he found out he was HIV-positive in 2011, the ‘Two and a Half Men’ star is “so grateful” to be alive and to be able to spread awareness.

He explained: “I feel really good. I am so grateful. I feel like I’m carrying the torch for a lot of folks out there that are suffering from the same thing.”

Sheen is on a trial for a new drug that he hopes will make his battle with the incurable condition more manageable because it only requires one injection a week.

“Some days are better than others, but most days are pretty f***ing cool. I’m so grateful for what was available when it happened, and even more grateful for what’s available right now, when I’m, I’m in the middle of it, you know?” he added.
