You know I knew a porn star that was killed in the line of her job - really sad and the person that caused it was so inconsiderate. I mean doing 38 in a 30 limit was pretty stupid and she walked out in front of him when going to do a scene without warning.....

Life is full of unknowns - we all take risks and Im afraid this aids lark is always going to be there this will pass over and then it will get back to business as usual, you cant regulate this in the same way as other businesses were regulated there are too many unknowns. What if that performer had a partner that did somethign with someone else unknown to them ? the ring outwards opens up the exposure risk very quickly. Years ago the diseases were treatable but Aids is different. Condom use is also seen as unsexy - no matter how hard they tried to make it look sexy rolling some bit of latex over a dong just doesnt look sexy and watching that slip in and out of what ever oriface you just feel that its not quite 100% there, its not real sex as its desensitised.

It may just get to the point where it becomes enforced and the main names are just not allowed to work without the proper PPE. Cant work if you dont skin up....The industry did self police but when the odd infection slips through it scares the wits out of the industry. Death just aint sexy.

I don't know of a single escort that fucks bareback, most even won't do OWO these days.

On the other hand I have had a very well known pornstar jump on my cock bareback durong an amateur shoot (that she does many of) without consideration. I should've said something but I was shocked and naievly figured since she was a pornstar she must be clean!

I got myself checked out and all clear, but I would never go back there!

not entirely relevant to this thread as was not porn related but on my local bbc radio southern counties today there was a feature saying that the Uk has the highest rate of STI's in europe and more "education" is again needed to the dangers , the old hiv adverts from the 80's were played and there was even a suggestion that tv ads re hiv should return seeing as so many young people are unaware still and even if they are actually think there is a cure or improved drugs mean getting hiv is no big deal now.
but the show did confirm highest risk group for hiv...gay men
what about these blokes over here who do straight porn and gay porn, surely some porn girls won't want to work with them even if they know the gay stuff has been with condoms.

Thats because there is a prevailing sense that stds and worse only happen to other people. Not normal people who go out and get ratfaced and play pot luck with who they shag on a Saturday night.

Worse still , most of them don't know and go untreated for a very long time

not sure if its fact but just read that the bloke who got it in states appeared in gay porn. was going to say he is gay but then that opens up all this stuff about although sone do gay porn they insist they are not gay,or bi, saw one going to do both straight and gay on jeremy kyle show and his girlfriend was on the show as well but think he said he had to do gay as well as more money involved.
just read also most states gay porn is with condoms so they don't bother with any testing as a back up...

This is also the perfect opportunity to illustrate that monthly tests DO work in reducing this kind of thing.

If tests are not worth the paper it is printed on could you imagine with this particular outbreak what would be happening right now?

Panic City comes to mind
