"It's a hard three letters to absorb," he added.

Sheen, who is three times divorced, played the womanizing bachelor Charlie Harper on top-rated U.S. comedy series "Two and A Half Men" for eight years before being fired in 2011 for bad behavior that included cocaine-fueled partying with porn stars and a conviction for assaulting his ex-wife.

Asked whether he had transmitted HIV to anyone since his diagnosis, Sheen said on Tuesday, "Impossible."

The actor said he had "always led with condoms and honesty when it came to my condition."

Sheen said one of the reasons he disclosed the news about his health was to stop others from extorting him. He would not disclose how many people he was paying for their silence, but said the payments reached into the millions of dollars to people he once considered in his inner circle.

"I thought they could be helpful. Instead, my trust turned into their treason," Sheen said, adding he will no longer pay those people.

"I think I released myself from this prison today," he said.

After being fired from "Two and A Half Men," Sheen set up home with a number of porn stars he called "goddesses" and boasted on YouTube of having "tiger blood" in his veins.

1. I can hear Gloria Allred's footsteps as she chases all those who have been infected. Everything is

a money maker for her!

3. cocaine-fueled partying with porn stars but denies infecting anyone else.

Because he had the good judgment to use condoms.
Because cocaine-fueled partying with porn stars and good judgment go so well together.

6. Charlie is probably also radioactive.

and perhaps a toxic waste dump.

7. I hope he informed all his partners

Otherwise, I'd say he might be in legal trouble.

10. Considering he got at least one of those

porn stars pregnant I think his condom use was spotty at best.
