Scary news to report in the Los Angeles porn industry today: a so far un-named actress in the industry has tested positive for HIV. All of the partners she has worked with thus far have tested negative, but are not allowed to work until this whole "situation" is resolved.
Now I don't fancy myself a skin flick connoisseur, but from what I've read (I do research), actors in the industry are required to be tested every 30 days. Gone are the days of consequence-free promiscuity. Back in the 70s, when X-rated movies began, things were simple: you get an STD, you get a shot of penicillin, you're good to go. Not so much anymore.
This whole thing kind of grosses me out. No, it really grosses me out. With incurable diseases floating around out there now, you'd think condoms would be required. But condoms aren't sexy right? Going bareback and hoping for the best is, apparently.
