"Last November, Charlie Sheen revealed that he was HIV positive. In July, his doctor announced that his patient was doing “phenomenal,” and in October Sheen said that he was part of an FDA-funded trial on an anti-HIV drug called PRO 140. Sheen’s experimental treatment appeared to be very successful: On Friday, he announced that his HIV has been fully suppressed. Replicating that success, unfortunately, probably won’t come cheap.
“Personally, I think about how I felt on the day and how I feel today,” Sheen told the Daily Mail Online. “I thought for sure I’d be stuck on that cocktail forever, but look at me now. I’m so grateful for the geniuses at CytoDyn for developing this and finding me.”
Sheen isn’t exactly cured — HIV is a virus that the human body can’t get rid of completely — but if the results are true, it does mean that his body is in a state where the immune system is able to fight off infections.
For treatment, Sheen has received weekly injections of PRO 140, which makes it different than highly active antiretroviral terapy (HAART), which is currently the standard of care for HIV. HAART is a combination of different classes of medications customized on the basis of the patient’s viral load, which is the amount of HIV in a sample of blood. The higher the viral load, the more HIV in the body.
