Charlie Sheen made the headlines as it was confirmed that the 50 year old "Scary Movie" actor was HIV-positive. Months after going through HIV medication, Sheen decided to take alternative treatment in Mexico, which left him disappointed as the treatment didn't work as per New York Daily News.

During Sheen's interview with the Dr Oz Show, Sheen stated that, "I've been off my meds for about a week now, am I risking my life? Sure. So what? I was born dead. That part of it doesn't phase me at all."

Sheen sought treatment in Mexico wherein he was treated by Dr. Sam Chachoua who is said to be working on a vaccine against HIV. The Wrap then reported that as per Dr. Oz, Chachoua is "not licensed to practice medicine in the U.S."

During his interview with Dr. Oz, Chachoua stated that he injected some of Sheen's blood into his system despite the fact that it is HIV-positive. Chachoua told the host via phone patch that, "I drew some blood from him and I injected myself with it and I said, 'Charlie, if I don't know what I'm doing, then we're both in trouble now, aren't we?'"

As a result of his attempt to come up with a vaccine for HIV, Chachoua was unsuccessful as Sheen left Mexico with higher HIV strains in his blood.

Sheen then told Dr Oz, "I'm a little off my game, because right before I walked out here, I got some results that I was disappointed about, I had been non-detectable, non-detectable and checking the blood every week and then found out the numbers are back up."

Though Sheen didn't get the results that he hoped for, he did however admit that he was the one to present himself as a "guinea pig" for the vaccine. He then added that he does not recommend the HIV alternative treatment to anyone.

Independent then reported that Sheen is back on his medications after the medical alternative failed. During an interview with People, Sheen's manager Mark Burg confirmed the speculations by stating that Sheen immediately went back to his medication after the numbers went back up as a result of his failed treatment.

"Charlie is back on his meds. He tried a cure from a doctor in Mexico but the minute the numbers went up, he started taking his medicine, he said he would start on the plane on the way home and that is exactly what he did," Burg said.
