Los Angeles porn actor tests positive for HIV

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - California's multibillion-dollar adult entertainment industry has been left reeling after another positive HIV test for a porn actor.

The revelation Tuesday led to two of the industry's biggest companies shutting down production and a scramble to find partners who may have been exposed by the actor, whose identity and gender have not been released.

The actor was a patient of the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation, a San Fernando Valley clinic that caters to pornographic actors.

Clinic spokeswoman Jennifer Miller told the Los Angeles Times that efforts are under way to notify individuals who may have had sexual contact with the actor. Miller did not return calls or email from The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Wicked Pictures and Vivid Entertainment told the Times that they stopped production as a precaution when the positive test was revealed.

Los Angeles County public health officials and state occupational health officials have said the widespread lack of condom use on porn sets puts performers at risk for contracting HIV and other diseases. Adult film producers say viewers find them to be a turnoff.

Last year, a woman tested positive for HIV immediately after making an adult film, and in 2004, an HIV outbreak affecting several actors spread panic in the industry and briefly shut down productions at several California studios.

Porn actors are required by law to test negative for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases within 30 days of going to work on a film.

State workplace safety officials at Cal/OSHA are considering strengthening rules designed to prevent transmission of disease through bodily fluids to specify the use of condoms in the adult entertainment industry.

Currently, the same laws that call on health care professionals to wear gloves and other protective barriers when dealing with patients applies to the adult film business, but the laws don't make specific provisions for porn.

AIDS Healthcare Foundation President Michael Weinstein said his organization has been advocating for a tightening of the rules, and the adult entertainment industry and AIM clinic would "do everything in its power to prevent us from knowing who was impacted."

Weinstein said the latest case is the ninth HIV-positive adult film star to be treated at the AIM clinic since the 2004 outbreak.

Chief Counsel for Cal/OSHA Amy Martin said the clinic has been unco-operative in providing state regulators with key information by citing a patient's federal right to medical privacy.

But the clinic has even refused to provide redacted copies of employment histories for infected actors, which would allow the state to investigate porn production companies without naming the sick patients, Martin said.

HIV is spread most often through sexual contact, but can also be contracted through sharing contaminated needles for drug use, infected blood products, or babies born to or breast-fed by infected women. It is the cause of AIDS, an immune disease that gradually destroys the body's ability to fight illness.

Okay, somebody please release from my ignorance:

"Porn actors are required by law to test negative for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases within 30 days of going to work on a film."

I never understood that. How are they sure nothing happens between the time they present the papers and actually start shooting?

Am I missing something? Some porn sex-ed pro here explain it for me, I'll appreciate it.

:)

They aren't sure, it's simply a precaution that for the most part works fairly well judging by the number of hiv cases transmitted by porn stars vs the average joe on the street . To be sure they would need to be tested daily. But that might interfere with personal schedules and bareback escorting duties

The suggested testing dates are WITHIN 30 days of shooting. However, adult performers are able to test as frequently as they wish. I believe Belladonna has set her standard as every 7 days.

They can not do testing every day, because just as with any other lab tests, it takes time for the results to come back. Usually 24 to 48 hours, unless it is a weekend. If the test is done on Friday, results will be back by Tuesday morning, and sometimes Monday afternoon. (Which was the case with the HIV positive scare before this one - she shot on a Saturday and the director/producer didn't do what he was supposed to and make sure her test results had come back clean, as there was no time FOR her results to have come back.)

It is truly a bummer to find out about this scare in the industry again. I couldn't find any information about Cameron online.

The way it was always explained to me was the 28 days is the avg / normal incubation time for HIV. Now that's not to say that sometimes it's not less or more, but supposed to be the average.

ON another note, If patient zero is Cameron, the biggest issue is yet to be posted here. Don't know if it's been posted in another thread but i'm not gonna be the one to post it because nothing's confirmed yet. I just hope things work out for the best for all those involved.
