IMO once someone is diagnosed with HIV that person should only be able to fuck others with the same VD under penalty of life in prison without parole (or maybe have a constitutional amendment allowing for a mandatory death penalty). The only exception should be for a husband and wife and then only when the non-HIV infected person sits through a four hour HIV education course written by the CDC, takes an exam proving he/she knows what the hell he/she is getting into and passes that test with at least an 80% score.

But this would fall under “tacit” approval.

I suspect that there is one person driving this…that would be the same HIV positive former performer who knocked up a popular female while she was an active performer.

Or maybe this is just the next step in the misogynist field day that porn has become….watch her catch HIV….

Hey yall!!

….Ive been tempted to write a lot lately but this one pushed me over the edge…. I do miss you guys

No one is telling performers the Industry test doesn’t exclude HIV+ performers. That includes gay for pay etc as long as their treatment is effective they can pass the industry test.

The industry test excludes known infectious levels of HIV it does not exclude effectively treated HIV.

As far as OSHA goes if a source knows they have HIV or any other ‘exposure risk’ they can refuse testing so good luck getting definitive proof. Prior to the 2013 OSHA Draft the industry has been pushing ‘lowest permissible levels’ and pretending Hep A,B C, Syphilis, gonorrhea and thirty or so other common STD aren’t an issue.

A couple weeks ago California decriminalized non-disclosure of HIV positive status. Now look at the political names behind that and the folks who are ‘in bed’ with industry movers & shakers.

How many years ago was Stagliano telling the world he could pass an industry HIV test? No one is telling performers that YES they may be working with HIV+ perf

Does this seem like a throwback to the Mike South of old. I completely understand the argument that you can’t discriminate against a performer just because they have HIV – don’t agree with it, but understand it. At the same time, that brings us back to that age-old argument we used to have about OSHA and condoms. There are still workplace safety issues. An HIV positive physician can explore your body, but they have to wear gloves and other protective gear. For the life of me, I can’t imagine OSHA or health authorities allowing bareback, non-condom scenes between an HIV-positive performer and a non-infected performer, let alone the exchange of bodily fluids. But, what do I know?
