"HIV/Aids" has been perceived as one of the world's most dreaded disease. A study revealed that Patient O is only one among those who was infected of the virus. Meanwhile, Charlie Sheen declared that the disease is no longer to be feared.
Patient O was always accused as the main culprit of the spread of "HIV/Aids" in the United States. However, new studies brings to light that Patient O is not the carrier of the disease to the United States as reported by Statnews.
The invasion of "HIV/Aids" in North America was thought to be brought in from Haiti by Gaetan Dugas, a French- Canadian flight attendant. His file was mislabelled as Patient 0 (zero) instead of the letter "O". He was labelled as the first man who was the cause of the disease that plagued the famous celebrities in the US.

Barely one year ago on November 17, 2015, had Charlie Sheen unravelled his secret with "HIV/Aids" four - years earlier? However, he was not brave enough to reveal it to the public until he said that "it was a turning point in his life".
Not only him but there are a lot more US's top celebrities who were infected with the disease. Earvin "Magic" Johnson was diagnosed with "HIV/Aids" in 1991 and this prompted him to be actively involved in fighting the spread of the disease.
