After announcing he's HIV positive, Charlie Sheen is piecing his life back together with help from Dr. Mehmet Oz.

Dr. Oz has become a shoulder to lean on for the former Two and a Half Men star in a mentoring relationship that we first got wind of when the surgeon was spotted outside the actor's New York hotel right after Sheen's Today show revelation.

"Like all of us, Charlie is looking for answers in his own life and making peace with what he's going through," Dr. Oz told ET. "That's a difficult voyage."

While the surgeon and television personality is not treating Sheen, he is helping him emotionally.

"This disease chose the wrong person," Sheen says in a clip from his episode of The Dr. Oz Show, airing next week.

Dr. Oz explained to ET that Sheen's health will be an ongoing battle.

"There were some things he needed to keep focusing on -- the alcohol being a good example," Dr. Oz said. "But the treatment for HIV is so effective now that you have a normal life expectancy. You can live a pretty normal life because of that."

Sheen seems to have heeded warnings from his doctors, as he has reportedly given up alcohol and taken up yoga.

"He made mistakes," Dr. Oz said. "He has a unique ability to bounce back from just about anything."
