Excellent informative post, Mutt, thanks!
While an HIV test to be required is a good thing to have prior to a shooting, I still don't get it how it could solve the problem. HIV cannot be detected the next day, but after 3-6 months, with an indirect test (of the specific antibodies developped), so a test taken the day before would not prove anything, only that you had not contracted the infection until 3-6 months before.
UnseenWorld is right to say that not presenting any test makes actors/actresses more alert that they face this risk for money.
Not even condoms can fully protect you, since you can get infected in lots of other ways (any direct contact between blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and to a lesser extent breast milk - for those pregnant shots - between 2 people can cause an HIV infection): cum swallowing (even some drops left inside the mouth and not wiped pose a risk), or finger insertion when there may be small leaks of blood around the nails, or oral sex, if you have open sores around your lips or blood from your weak teeth ... It's a high risk biz for the porn actors.
