Charlie Sheen Rumoured To Be HIV Positive

The predicted announcement by actor Charlie Sheen, as revealed by BBC News, that he is HIV positive is certain to garner a lot of publicity in the coming weeks.

And you can bet your bottom dollar that a lot of the discussion that will be had will blame porn. It’s inevitable, right? After all, Sheen is a man who has been involved with and had sex with a lot of porn stars in his time.

Of course, we have no idea who he has contracted the disease from. It’s probably unlikely that he is going to tell us, if indeed he knows. But that won’t stop people from pointing the finger at porn.

You’re also about to see a staggering display of double standards over the coming months too, regarding the media treatment of Sheen and the disease he has allegedly contracted.

Quite rightly, there will be a lot of people who will ask for him to be treated with respect and dignity, and that’s fair enough. The news is not something that anyone who has an ounce of a soul should treat with a smile on their face.

Yet, what was the media response on the last couple of occasions there was a porn industry shutdown after suspected cases of HIV and AIDS among adult performers? Well, it wasn’t quite as respectful, was it?

The sympathy for the stars involved was non-existent. It still is non-existent. And it will be non-existent if and when it happens again.

We wish Charlie Sheen all the best in his fight against a disease we wouldn’t wish on our biggest enemy. But maybe the media and indeed the general public should take a look at their response right now and compare it to their response the next time an adult performer is revealed to be HIV positive.
