Charlie Sheen said his doctor injected himself with the actor’s blood to prove his HIV was cured

In November, the Anger Management star (50) revealed that he was HIVpositive.
Earlier this week, the star admitted he had stopped taking his prescribed HIV medication and sought out ‘experimental’ treatment in Mexico instead.

“I’ve been off my meds for about a week now,” he said on The Dr. Oz Show. “Am I risking my life? Sure. So what? I was born dead. That part of it doesn’t faze me at all.”

The actor said he’d been receiving treatment from a physician named Dr Sam Chachoua, who is not licensed to practice medicine in the US. He added that his HIV was not detectable in his blood without antiretroviral therapy after undergoing Charlie Sheen added that his HIV was not detectable in his blood without antiretroviral therapy after undergoing “a series of injections and blood work”.

 “We did see some incredible results early on,” Sheen explained. “Off the med cocktail that I was undetectable. And it stayed that way. I did an experiment I didn’t have any faith in but I went along with it.”

“I didn’t see it as Russian Roulette. I didn’t see it as a complete dismissal of the conventional course that we had been on. I’m not recommending that anybody else do this. I’m presenting myself as some kind of a guinea pig.”

Sheen said Dr. Sam Chachoua was so confident of his patient’s success that he even injected himself with Sheen’s blood, telling Dr Oz off camera that he would be the first person in the world “to go HIV negative.”

However, Sheen’s agent Mark Burg confirmed on Wednesday that the actor is back on prescribed HIV medication.

“Charlie is back on his meds. He tried a cure from a doctor in Mexico for about four weeks, but the minute the numbers went up, he started taking his medicine,” Burg told People.

Sheen said on Wednesday:

“I’m a little off my game because right before I walked out here, I got some results I was disappointed about,” he added. “I had been non-detectable, non-detectable and checking the blood every week and then found out the numbers are back up.”
