Charlie Sheen Says He's Feeling Great 11 Months After HIV Diagnosis 

Almost one year after going public with his HIV diagnosis, Charlie Sheen is opening up about his current health.

at his home in Los Angeles, Sheen, 51, opened up about living with HIV — and his search for a cure.

“I feel excellent,” he said. “I am part of an FDA study right now, which I have been involved with for 24 weeks, and there is a new drug that is on the fast track for FDA approval. It’s called PRO 140 and the company is Cytodyn. It’s a global game-changer.”

Sheen, who has sought alternative treatment in the past, was open about the undesirable effects they had on his health.

“The other s—, it kept me alive, sure, but it had hideous side effects — migraines, stomach problems, liver damage,” he added.

The actor said the new drug is “the future of treatment for this condition” and that he’s “excited as hell to be a part of it.”

“I don’t mind talking about that at all because it is going to give a lot of people hope and something to look forward to and really wrap their arms around it,” he continued.

Sheen said the film will be rated R like the original movie and would “bookend” the series.

So, the story pretty much focuses on that. The kid does not like me. We do not like each other. It bookends our story, but it also passes the torch.”

“The script that we’ve all been sitting on is pure gold and absolutely shootable,” he added. “It’s David Ward at his best. I mean, this is the guy who won the Oscar for writing
