That's highly unfair my friend.
As a gay man myself, I have seen this devastate the lives of many friends over the years. No one deserves this; not even Charlie despite his lifetsyle.
As others have said, it's really not a matter of semantics. Hearing that someone is HIV positive and telling people that they have AIDS is like hearing that someone has cancer and then telling people that they are stage IV. When you have AIDS, your immune system has collapsed and death is imminent. When you have HIV, you are on antiretrovirals and you might well be able to live with the infection for many years/decades.

AIDS is not the same thing as hiv. It might seem like semantics; but believe me, it's a huge difference.
You might, or you might not.

Charlie Sheen deserves to catch aids. He wasn't a 'womanizer', he was a freak that screwed prostitutes and trannies. He gave AIDs to others, which is a felony. No worries, he's a celebrity. He gets a pass.

I hope it is false news. No one deserves to catch horrible disease like this. But his whole lifestyle was a clear indicator os something like this to happen. The man single handedly ruined his life. He was at his peek when he was doing "Two and a Half Men" and after that it was a nose dive to the bottom.
Idiot!

I truly feel for the guy, but I also feel for the women who are sitting on their computers right now saying, "Oh Sh-t." Meanwhile, Sheen will be hailed as "brave" while we all mourn his terrible disease. No one cares about the women (men?) to whom he may have passed along this terrible disease.
I know, why can't these rock and movie stars be more like accountants and have nice stable family lives and wear sweater vests? I just don't get it.

I CAN'T STAND ENTERTAINERS. They are disgusting degenerates whose goal is to promote the idea that all behaviors should be accepted and celebrated. They are in large part responsible for the destruction of the family, and the half-century of skyrocketing divorce, poverty, out of wedlock births, household income inequality, and STD rates that followed.
Who could have seen this coming?
Charlie Sheen should be thankful he has it now and in the USA rather than 25 years ago, as advanced medical technology shouldn't stop him from living a healthy life.
Yes you are. Let me guess, you know a woman who eats fat free everything and is still a whale.

They meant having sex indiscriminately. Did you think they meant brushing your teeth?

I live in Enlgand. I don't know anyone who has AIDS, nor do any of my friends, nor have any of us met anyone who has AIDS. But we got this message 30 years ago that we soon would and it might be us if we didn't stop what we were diong. For a while we all believed it.
I think the reputation of most Lets-Runners is that of being a virgin so no STD's here.....

Anyone who slept with Charlie Sheen and didn't use condoms with his reputation, was an idiot. They don't deserve HIV, but they are an idiot..
Using condoms with his reputation? Awesome. I think more letsrunners should use condoms with their reputation. Then we wouldn't have to see their virulent spew and this could actually be decent running site not a bunch of politically shrill rhetoric mixed in with some talk of running.
Would need double condoms for the likes of Liberalism = a mental disorder. Plus roomfuls of disinfectant. Ha!
