The former Anger Management actor goes on to say he is not entirely sure how he got the virus but can confirm that he has not transmitted HIV to anyone.
He also revealed both his ex-wives were fully aware of his diagnosis.
Charlie admits he has revealed his status to take responsibility to be a better person and to help others, he said; "I'm not going to be the poster man for this, but I will not shun away from responsibilities."
