Speaking to Today Show host, Matt Lauer, Charlie confirmed that he has known about his status for "roughly 4 years", Since the announcement, there has been split opinions with some praising Charlie for being brave enough to speak openly about it, while others have lambasted the actor.
Local hip-hop star, Cassper Nyovest has made his opinion known. Taking to Twitter, Cassper called Charlie a "brave man."
Charlie Sheen is one brave man. It takes a universe of courage to come out and tell the world that you're HIV positive. I respect that man.
