Charlie Sheen Goes Off HIV Meds, I Was Born Dead He Says.

Charlie Sheen appeared on The Dr. Oz Show for the second straight day to discuss being HIV positive. This time, in the studio, he was asked by host Dr. Mehmet Oz about the manner in which he contracted the virus. “Do you think the drugs and the sex addiction contributed to your becoming HIV positive?” Oz asked. “Yeah, I would say most certainly,” replied Sheen.”

When Sheen first made the announcement that he's HIV-positive in November, his doctor said his levels of the virus were "undetectable," meaning they were low enough that they could not be found in tests.

But in a pre-taped segment on Dr. Oz's show airing Tuesday, Sheen says he's off antiretroviral drugs and seeking alternative treatment for his condition. Consequently, his HIV levels have gone up, and they're now detectable.

"I'm a little off my game because right before I walked out here, I got some results I was disappointed about," the actor told Oz in the segment, according to People. "I had been non-detectable, non-detectable and checking the blood every week and then found out the numbers are back up."

"Charlie found an alternative medicine healer. Someone in Mexico," Dr. Oz said. "Charlie, unbeknownst to me, went off his medications. He thinks he was cured."

Oz did some research on that doctor and alleged some troubling things:

    The patents Chachoua mentioned were 20 years old and not his.
    Oz could find only one article the doctor had written.
    The National Institutes of Health couldn’t find any benefit from Chachoua’s treatments.

Yet, it was what Chachoua allegedly told Oz on the phone that was the most alarming thing: “I drew some blood from him and I injected myself with it and I said, ‘Charlie, if I don’t know what I’m doing, then we’re both in trouble right now, aren’t we?’” “It’s pretty inappropriate,” commented Oz.

Oz, Sheen’s physician, and another medical expert then strongly urged Sheen to return to taking his previous meds. “I think you ought to be on your meds,” Oz insisted. “Your doctors believe that. What would it do, what would it require for you to go back on your medications?” An agreeable Sheen said, “I’m going to take them on the flight home —  what am I, an idiot?”
