Los Angeles:
Actor Charlie Sheen, who is HIV positive, said that he is amazed that he is still alive as he had taken a break from his medication for a bit out of curiosity, reports eonline.com.
Making some personal revelations, Mr Sheen shared that he was curious to know what it would be like if he gives a miss to his medication for a while.
"There's a host of side effects that are manageable. I was just curious as I think a lot of people are. You know, you ingest something every day, and you feel a certain way," he said.
"I just got curious about what I might feel like off this stuff. And then, if what was being professed, if any part of it was true, then I thought it was worth exploring," Mr Sheen said during an interview with Dr Oz on Monday.

"I'm amazed that I'm actually alive. But I beat myself up from time to time about why it took me so long once I knew that I was HIV positive to really start embracing the whole physical package and the whole psychological package about bettering myself," he said.
