Just found out another porn actor/actress has tested positive for the AIDS virus. This has caused a mandatory shut down in porn filming in the Los Angeles. Porn rakes in upwards of $14 Billion dollars in profits. Big Business has agendas. Porn is a destructive force pushing more than unprotected sex and risky behavior but that is another story that I will write on later.
If the performer who has contracted the virus, worked or had sex with a partner or multiple partners in another state or several or even in another country/countries while being infected, how would he or she or anyone know? Due to the nature of the situation, the health authorities can not name the person. It is slightly confusing who is responsible for the testing and notification of the performers due to AIM Medical Associates being shut down and embroiled in a law suit. AIM used to be responsible for testing and maintaining a data base for porn performers in the industry. Now the FSC (Free Speech Coalition- a porn industry/adult industry trade association) is in the mix as well. It seems a little dumb to have the Porn Industry (executives) at the helm of an organization that is suppose to make sure sex workers/performers will be safe and healthy. It would seem more logical to have an outside Health Authority making sure that porn performers were STD free and clear to work. By the way, many performers are clear to work if they have multiple STDs. It seems they only have mandatory shut downs if a performer tests positive for HIV. I guess when one looks deeply at the problem the only person who is responsible, is the person not wearing a condom.
A group of activists including FAIR (For Adult Industry Responsibility) and The Aids Healthcare Foundation have joined together to put an initiative on the California ballot in 2012 to force mandatory condom use in adult films.
Here is a look back at Derrick Burts announcement last year about contacting HIV
