A nurse named Amanda Bruce came forward to explain why she had unprotected sex with Charlie Sheen during the eight months they dated, despite the actor's HIV status.
During an appearance on Dr. Oz, the nurse said she'd engaged in unprotected sex with the Hot Shots actor after he disclosed his status to her. The blonde also told the TV doc that she'd taken PrEP(pre- exposure prophylaxisto) to lower her risk of contracting the virus before they were intimate.
When asked how often the pair had sex, she told Dr. Oz, "I was there every day."
Bruce also said that she'd consulted Sheen's doctor Dr. Robert Huizenga, who had advised her not have sex.
Dr. H came on the show and said, "I was the doctor for her boyfriend, we called in other doctors and they felt the risk of transmission if she took the prophylaxis and he had undetectable level was miniscule. We can’t say it’s zero."
He added, "And so basically I think my advice to her was, 'Don’t do it, but the risk is miniscule.' And she elected to then go forward because she felt so close and wanted that level of intimacy."
We still think Bruce it was a bad decision for her to sleep with Sheen knowing he had HIV, but she also chose to sleep with a notorious drug user and sex addict -- so there's a lot wrong with this scene.
Bruce said they were exclusive when they slept together (which we find very hard to believe) and that the actor was very good about taking his medication. Bruce said she's no longer sexually active with the troubled actor but are still close.
