In reply to the discussion: Fourth Porn Actor this Year - Tests HIV+ [View all]DontTreadOnMe
(2,442 posts)1. FACT: The porn industry has a mandatory rule that all actors get STD Tests BEFORE every shoot.
2. FACT: All these HIV cases were caught BEFORE the actors were going to appear in a shoot.
3. FACT: All the HIV cases we caused by actors who caught the disease outside the "porn entertainment" industry. Meaning, they had "regular" sex with partners, that had nothing to do with the porn industry.
4. FACT: when you are a "porn star", and you are actively working... you are ADVISED NOT TO HAVE SEX with ANYONE who is NOT TESTED for STDS, because it could jeopardize your shoot schedule. Porn stars are booked sometimes weeks in advance... and this is for large sums of money. A common STD, like chlamydia (like a yeast infection) -- can cause you to miss thousands of dollars worth of bookings. Most porn stars are not out having sex when they are booked for work. Those that do, end up losing a lot of money.
So the idea that porn stars are out fucking around all day is just not true. Yes, there might be a few who do not go by the advice -- that's why they have STRICT TESTING.
How many people do you think contract HIV per day... out in the "normal" world? Does it make the news?
This is where people should concentrate on trying to prevent HIV.
