Charlie Sheen says he'll dedicate the rest of his life to finding a cure for HIV in a new Dr. Oz special set to air throughout this week.

The 50-year-old actor, who recently came out as HIV-positive and revealed he's been managing his diagnosis for the last four years, will also use the special to discuss HIV management solutions for people living with the disease and hopefully educate the masses about the difference between HIV and AIDS.

Sheen gave Oz a look at what his daily treatment regimen looks like — a combination of three oral pills he affectionately calls "Seal Team Six."

"When I take them I say, 'Okay guys, go to work. Go kill some bad guys,'" he said.

Sheen discusses his hesitation in initially taking HIV suppression medication, citing side effects and the therapy's relative infancy as concerns.

"There is a host of side effects that are manageable," Sheen said of the daily pill regimen and his journey to find which combination of treatments worked best for him after halting treatment for months.

"I was just curious, as I think a lot of people are…what I might feel like off of this stuff and if what was being professed, if any part of it was true, than I thought it was worth exploring."

Sheen added he's "amazed" that he's "actually alive," since it took him years to embrace antiretroviral treatment. After being diagnosed, he says he ignored seeking treatment and wound up back in rehab for alcohol and cocaine addictions.

On his new life pivot and what his young children may find when they Google his name five years from now, Sheen said, "They're going to see that dad is a true hero. That he helped a lot of people and continues to help people who can't help themselves."
