Last week, an adult-film performer tested positive for HIV at a clinic based in the San Fernando Valley, the nation’s largest pornography hub. The news set off a frenzy of media reports and renewed attention on one of California’s biggest industries.

The Los Angeles Times, which broke the story, reported that the clinic is in the process of quarantining and testing the partners of the performer.

The Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation said it would report the details of the case to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. California law requires that health care providers report communicable disease incidents to public health departments within seven days.

Founder Sharon Mitchell claims she opened the clinic in 1998 after discovering that a male porn star had recklessly infected six actresses with HIV. Since then, performers have been required to get monthly HIV and some STD tests. The clinic keeps a database for producers listing what performers are clean.


But when an adult-film performer becomes infected, it’s a reminder that HIV testing alone is not an effective way to keep the virus out of the porn industry, and according to state officials, employers are breaking workplace safety laws every time a performer goes without a condom.

The use of condoms while on the job is mandated by state law – but indirectly. The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires “protective equipment” to protect workers from blood-borne pathogens but does not specifically mandate condom use in the adult-film industry.

That could change when state officials converge in Oakland on Oct. 25 to discuss an amendment to the California law.

ok,so i know the ones who were responsible for the AIDS outbreak a couple of years ago. you'd think that i would have more to say on this subject but i really don't. my only question is "Why doesn't this happen more often?" if i were in porn,i would use condoms.it only makes sense. it's all pretty Darwin & if some asshole thinks that sex is worth AIDS, then i say whatevs. do whatever the fuck you want, just dont touch me afterwards. i hope you perverts are happy knowing that so many are giving their lives so that you can jack off Saturday nights.

good day

i said sir, GOOD DAY!
