Charlie Sheen's tragedy will probably become his triumph.

I'm sure he would prefer that it didn't happen this way, but it did.

So, looking forward, as he seems to be doing, and I can't help but do, I could see how this propels him beyond the level of stardom he currently has to the super stratosphere of Hollywood legends.

First, let's catch up. Here he is revealing to Matt Lauer and the world that he is indeed HIV positive on the Today Show.

Now, here he is with his personal physician talking about the state of his health.

Why do I think his admission of being HIV positive will be the catalyst that takes him from a punchline to a positive headline? Watch the video to see.

Originally broadcast on Paul's Periscope. Follow him here.
