Word.

It isn't surprising to me that this happened, but what does surprise me is that only 2 people are infected. You would think that with numerous sex partners, more people (a lot more) would be infected... especially since from the report it will take 2 months for the HIV tests to be completed. It makes you wonder how much time elapses from test to test and the onset of HIV.

I love (note: sarcasm) how they emphasize that these HIV cases are not a "threat to public health at this point." Whenever someone has HIV and sleeps around with others it is always a public health threat. I mean, they can't be naive enough to think that porn stars only sleep with people in the business, right?

well you also have to remember that just because you may come into contact with a person with HIV, you won't always get get the virus yourself. also, i don't think that people just go from doing one movie to another right after, so it might not be that surprising that only 2 people are known to be infected.

True, but I'm also factoring in the possibility that these 2 people slept with people outside of the porn industry. Like a girl/boyfriend, husband, wife... That's why I made the sarcastic comment about it not being considered a public health threat.

''It's very scary,'' said Mary Carey, a porn star who ran for governor of California last fall. ''This is kind of a wake-up call for everybody.''

Carey said she had not worked with the infected actor but as a precaution, she was canceling a lesbian porn shoot.

Last I heard, a 3rd person in the industry had been discovered with the virus.

I think the AIDs testing depends. If it's a big company that does a lot of movies and makes a lot of money than I think it is required. If it's a small company that makes like one or two a month than probably they leave it up to the actors. It's like bungee jumping, eventually the cord's going to break. I'm not for the porn industry but if I was in it, I'd insist on making movies with the same person like a partnership. I'd think you could make the same number of movies but it would be safer.
