22 US Porn Stars Tested HIV Positive
Frightening isn’t it? Do they continue working in porn movies?
The newly released data bring the number of HIV cases in porn performers in the last five years to 22, including the case disclosed this week.
The report — and what state and county health officials perceive as stonewalling by the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation, which tests porn performers for sexually transmitted diseases — is bringing renewed scrutiny to the estimated $12-billion-a-year industry’s long history of resisting regulation and condom use.
“AIM Healthcare has never been cooperative with us and our investigations,” said Dean Fryer, a spokesman for the state Division of Occupational Safety and Health. So far, the San Fernando Valley-based clinic has declined to tell county or state officials the name of the performer or her employer.
“You’d think they’d want to be a full partner in trying to prevent the spread of this disease,” said Dr. Jonathan Fielding, health officer for Los Angeles County.
The performer first tested positive June 4, said Dr. Colin Hamblin, AIM’s medical director. She worked the following day — June 5 — for reasons Hamblin said are still being investigated. A second positive result came back June 6. And the clinic is awaiting results of a third and final confirmatory test, he said.
Porn stars defend industry amid HIV controversy
“I don’t think there’s a problem right now,” said actor, producer and director Jules Jordan. “It’s like people who do stunts in Hollywood. There’s a risk in anything you do.”
Jordan said he does not use condoms in filming because “it takes away the whole fantasy.”
