An unidentified adult film actor tested positive for HIV, resulting in efforts to inform all possible sex partners of that person so they can be tested. All the women in the porn business are said to be taking it really hard.
Since HIV is the cause of AIDS, this could be a matter of life and death. Thinking about that is causing many porn stars to wax philosophically.
Health officials say the lack of condom use in the adult film use creates unnecessary risk. Many in the porn industry say their audience dislikes seeing condoms on the actors. Still, if lives are at risk, audiences may hope that porn actors are willing to change their position.
This unsettling news toppled what had been the saddest and most disturbing factor in the porn industry: the acting.
5 adult film companies have halted filming as a precaution. No agency forced them to, they voluntarily withdrew.
The stop in porn production may have financial consequences for the porn industry, but so far it has been anti-climatic.
Industry insiders hope the production stall won’t affect their bottom line.
While the bigger companies have officially stopped production, there may be some independents involved in back-door deals.
