Fourth Porn Actor this Year - Tests HIV+

[DragonBorn]

157. Question

Why does this require a new law? Four porn actors got infected with HIV this year. That really sucks for them but don't thousands of people get infected everyday?

This may be disaterous to the individual and I don't want to seem calous but its such a statistical blip does this even merit this debate? Thousands, possibly tens of thousands of actors do porn in this country every year and only four got infected with HIV. I'd say that's a pretty damn good percentage that remained uninfected. In fact if ONLY 1000 people did porn in this country thats an infection rate of 0.4%. (Someone check my maths) so 99.96% of porn actors remained uninfected and this is only if there are 1000 actors in the US, which is a lowball estimate.

If my numbers are correct there are 1.1 Million people with HIV in America. Out of 300 million thats .33% of the entire population, so considering the low sample size of the actors I would say this is pretty on track for standard infection rates across the country.

One other point, how do we know that they didn't contract HIV in their personal lives? I mean their porn stars, they must be having sex right? Has anyone of these HIV infections been tracked to having been infected as a result of a movie shoot?
