The Porn Industry shuts down for the 3rd time this year due to HIV!

Last Friday, the adult film industry trade association Free Speech Coalition called for a moratorium on filming after an unidentified performer was announced as testing HIV-positive. This is the fourth porn actor to test positive for the virus this year, and the third such moratorium on filming, prompting one advocacy group to renew calls for a statewide California law requiring adult film stars to wear condoms on set.“Are we still going to be having this argument when there’s the 10th shutdown or 20th? Or the 50th infection?”said Michael Weinstein, president of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, the main group pushing for stricter statewide condoms-in-porn laws.Los Angeles County passed its own lawrequiring condoms in porn last year. That’s pitted the adult film industry and free speech advocates who claim that such requirements are an infringement on free speech and bad for business against public health groups who say that it’s a necessary precaution in the porn business. The LA County law is currently being challenged in the courts.
