Charlie Sheen just dropped a major bombshell in an interview with Piers Morgan, revealing he didn’t tell all of his lovers that he was HIV positive.
He says he declined to reveal his disease to certain partners as he was worried they would use the information to blackmail him.
Despite admitting he hadn’t been honest to all of his sexual partners, the Two and a Half Men star still insisted he had never infected anyone with HIV.
The 50-year-old disclosed the information that he hadn’t been upfront with all his partners in an interview with Mail Online.
“The only couple of times I didn’t tell somebody was because the last 25 times I told somebody they used it against me,” he explained.
“They used my medical condition for their own folly and financial gain.”

Charlie continued: “And the amount of despicable charlatans that I thought were allies, that then turned against me, they were coming out of the woodwork, it was crazy.”
The Anger Management actor was then asked if he’d ever infected anyone.
“On all five of my children, and my granddaughter, I never did. Because I wouldn’t do that to somebody. I would not. How could I explain it later?” he continued.
“And here’s the great news: no one has been infected by me. No one. They claim you know the sorrow and the pity or whatever, but that’s on them, and again I know the truth.”
This comes as the National Enquirer is set to air a documentary on the issue, and claims to have tapes of an argument between Charlie and an ex, where she berates him for not telling her he had the disease.

Charlie admitted he was infected with the disease on The Today Show in the US back in November, saying he had been diagnosed about three and a half years prior.
Two of the actor’s exes – Brett Rossi and Bree Olson – have previously gone on the record claiming he never told them he was infected with the STD.
