I might also add, that not only will exposed performers not give a flying fuck “in the moment,” they will NEVER give a flying fuck if he was infected on or off set. And there is nothing silly about the state of mind that these exposed people have right now.

Why is it so important for performers to be safe in their private lives, but on set its perfectly ok to take 50 guys up the ass with internal ejactualtions?LOL

Erik,
I think you missed my point, that is, the performers who were exposed will NEVER give a fuck if this guy got it on or off set.
A few facts, everyone in the industry, talent, agents, producers, are full aware that ALOT of performers are not as safe or vigilant in their private lives as the industry wants them to be, AND everyone knows that the industry still willingly hires these very high risk people. And everyone also knows that the ON SET actions of every performer are not safe.

So Erik, WHY is the on or off set transmission an “important piece?” We know( or can pretty accurately assume) that no protection was used in the on set exposures. WHat this guy does OFF SET, is NO DIFFERENT than the vast majority of performers, and EVERYONE in the industry knows what performers do, so why is it ‘important’ to know?

No, I don’t think in the moment someone is told they might have a disease that is what they are concerned with. That in no way makes it a less important piece. Sorry, but your point that if people getting the calls don’t care in that moment then why does it matter, is silly. You can feel bad about a situation without failing to be analytical and try to see what occurred.

Here’s an assumption for ya. I assume that the girls who got calls in the last two days telling them they worked with someone who has HIV dont give a flying fuck if he caught it off set or on. Why the fuck is this even part of the debate?
No matter where he got it, he then bought it with him to work every day until he finally got tested again.
Why is it so important, as the FSC has stated, that perforemrs be so vigilant in their private lives, but once on set they can be as high risk as possible and there is no problem with that?

Erik, do you think the people getting calls informing them that they might have been exposed to HIV rreally care if he got it off or on set? FSC always talks about on set transmission, why dont they ever talk about ON SET EXPOSURE.

Put yourself in the girls shoes who went in and got tested yesterday , or today. Imagine whats going through their heads right now, and then talk about off or on set transmission, as if that has anything to do with anything.

Yes, I’m stating normal shit that everyone SHOULD understand.

The fact that performers are freaking the fuck out and need to know who the infected performer is just proves that THEY don’t know and certainly don’t trust the testing system.

If they DID then there should be no problems… don’t work until everyone has been re-tested, current HIV+ performers will be eliminated and everyone goes back to fucking until the next outbreak.

THAT’S the system which is why it concerns me that so many performers seem to have no fucking clue about how it works.

There could be 5 HIV+ performers a week and then they would just be eliminated like the rest…..

You gotta love the honor system. There’s a reason almost no other industry on the face of the earth would leave people’s health in the hands of the “honor system.”
There’s no way to enforce it or protect anyone unless you count bullying and cover ups… Seems to have worked for the last 10 years, I guess???

If AVN’s reporting on the fact that the stoppage was triggered by a first test is correct, then it seems FSC is more out in front than maybe past incidents.

This is an assumption. Again, your assumption may even be very likely, but it is still an assumption. Past history can inform your opinions, but that doesn’t make your opinions factual. I understand why you say this and it makes sense. Still, not factual though.

That’s life. Everything we do has consequences. Don’t want HIV, wear condoms and stop shooting up. Pretty simple solution really.

FSC didn’t call a moratorium for a performer who didn’t work.
