Charlie Sheen is again in the news but this time for all the right reasons. As all his interviews, the recent one by Charlie Sheen on being HIV has created a controversy and has raised several eyebrows.

Charlie Sheen is well-known for his role in the famous sitcom "Two and a Half Men." In 2011 he had a public meltdown following some bizarre interviews he gave and even claimed to drink "Tiger Blood."

In the latest interview with ABC news' "Good Morning America, " Charlie Sheen said that looking back at those interviews he felt that at that time he was not thinking straight, but it was fun to watch those interviews now. As reported by ABC news, he added, "I was doing way too much testosterone cream, trying to get the old libido up."

In the interview, Charlie Sheen said that all the incidents were basically accidental roid rage. He also opened up about his HIV positive diagnosis. He confessed that he wanted to eat bullet immediately after hearing the news. 

"But my mom was there, I wouldn't do that in front of her, or let her find me to clean up that mess," he added.

During the interview, he also said that he was alive as he was not affected by something fatal such as brain cancer, meningitis, etc. Sheen added that he was grateful for the treatment that he had received.

It is worth noting that Charlie Sheen is still under treatment and he did not shy away from confessing that. He said that during the treatment some days were ok and some were good.

The controversy has surfaced due to discrepancies in what Sheen said in this interview and the one he gave to Dylan Howard. As reported by Radar, during that interview he had denied that the thought of committing suicide had never crossed his mind. He said,

"I've never been that guy. I've always said if somebody's gonna kill themselves, they should jump off a building. It's pretty sure-fire! Slashed wrists are usually just a cry for help."

Several people are reading into this change of stance by Sheen but we won't. We are happy that he is fighting the disease and is giving hope to millions who are suffering from the deadly HIV.
