Charlie Sheen reveals the exact window of having sex with men where he contracted HIV "When people say sex with men, you immediately think of butt sex, and it wasn't that. The curiosity never happened without insane amounts of crack." "My best guess as to how I contracted HIV was probably in that pocket of time with the experimentation." "I don't really ever say that in the doc, but there's a reason in the book that it falls into that specific window chronologically." "I didn't have it before that, and then found out I had it right after that."
