Who's The Boss? alum Danny Pintauro steps out for the first time since revealing he is HIV-positive to attend Transcendent premiere party

This past weekend Danny Pintauro had an emotional interview with Oprah Winfrey on an episode of Oprah: Where Are They Now? as he revealed he is HIV-positive, and has been for 12 years.

But the star, who received support from former co-star Judith Light, seemed to be in good spirits following the revelation, as he was spotted at the Transcendent premiere party on Monday.

The 39-year-old showed off a big grin as he posed alongside Mean Girls star Daniel Franzese and the cast of the new Fuse series in Los Angeles.

Danny wore a loose-fitting navy blue button down over a fitted grey V-neck T-shirt, coupled with a pair of dark skinny jeans.

He finished off the casual look with a pair of black leather boots and showed off a smile as he hit the carpet.

He was joined by his husband Wil Tabares who sported a colorful patterned button down along with a pair of dark wash jeans.

The pair flashed their pearly whites as they posed on the carpet together ahead of the premiere party.

It's likely been a difficult week for Danny, as the star - who grew up in front of an audience as Jonathan Bower on the popular 1980s sitcom - recently revealed his medical struggles with Oprah.

He told Oprah: 'I wanted to tell you this a long time ago, but I wasn't ready. I’m ready now, I’m HIV-positive and I have been for 12 years.’

But the former TV star seemed to be in good spirits as he was spotted hugging Daniel, who donned a short-sleeved button down, slate grey trousers, and white sneakers with blue and red laces on Monday.

Daniel also posed with the stars of the new Fuse series, one of whom - Xristina - claimed to have had a relationship with Jennifer Lopez's beau Casper Smart.

Xristina wore a strapless, gold and black asymmetrical mini dress which featured a train with a leopard print pattern.
