One of Charlie Sheen’s ex-girlfriends, Amanda Bruce, is speaking out about having unprotected sex with the actor after finding out about his HIV-positive diagnosis.
Opposite from his past sexual partners who have banded together to sue Sheen with claims he didn’t tell them about it, Bruce appeared on The Dr. Oz Show to show her support for Sheen.
Bruce said Sheen was upfront with her about having HIV and she was fully aware of the risks involved with having unprotected sex with him because she’s a nurse.
“There's a very big scare about [HIV] out there and I think that's just a lot of social stigma that came from back when there wasn't treatment for this and this was a death sentence,” she said.
She also denied having unprotected sex with him was like playing Russian roulette with her health.
"I think the real Russian roulette comes with not coming forward about conditions you have or having unprotected sex frequently with partners," she said. "The reality is, we had known each other for many months before we engaged in that and we were a couple – I was in love with him."
