But they are smart enough to realize that the extent of the situation isn’t really known, so why take chances?

I am not a huge fans of the guys going both ways, especially when it has been reported that a number of gay content producers are not quite as strict on AIM testing. Yes, they use condoms more than straight productions, but at the end of the day, there is still exchange of fluids and that is a risk area. Many male performers are “gay for pay” or “straight for pay”, but since both sides don’t play by the same rules when it comes to testing and safety issues, we end up with the current issues.

For me, guys who do gay porn, or any performer that does penetration hardcore outside of the US should be in a 30-45 day quarantine before they are allowed to work again. While we do not have all the proof here, it appears that these are two very specific areas where issues are coming up.

Good for them.

Now rawalex,,,what do you have to say about the production companies that hire guys from the gay industry to have unprotected sex with on straight industry sets?

Everyone has their own ideas and it is really hard to get everyone to agree on things. In the end, only government regulation (the type few want) will end up setting the standards if the industry is unable to.

AIM needs to come forward with patient zero info, as well as a better indication of who all is on the quarantine list. I applaud the production companies who have shut down outright to avoid the risks, but I am sure there are plenty of independent and one off shoots still going on, potentially with quarantined performers.

Come on AIM, it’s time to “man up” and lead.
