Infected Porn Stars Say The Outbreak Of Hiv Infections Shows The Industry Needs To Get Serious About Condoms

RELATED: VACCINE CURED MONKEYS OF AIDS-CAUSING VIRUS: SCIENTISTS Damian Dovarganes/AP “I do know for a fact that condoms will work, have worked, do work,” Rod Daily said at Wendesday’s news conference. The AIDS Healthcare Foundation has long pushed for the porn industry to require actors to use condoms while on set, but Kink.com founder Peter Acworth says that the responsibility lies with the porn stars. “All of our models are informed that they request a condom at any time, that they can stop a shoot at any time, and that they control the scene… We take consent and safety seriously,” Acworth said in a written statement. Actor Patrick Stone said the problem goes beyond offering condoms to performers, and noted at the press conference that Kink.com had scheduled him for a film shoot despite the fact that he had received a false-positive HIV test. “They had me scheduled for a shoot tomorrow, and as far as they knew, I was HIV positive,” he said at the press conference. AIDS Healthcare Foundation President Michael Weinstein added that even regular testing is insufficient when it comes to protecting the health of porn workers.
