HIV scare : A suggestion
Posted: Fri Apr 16, 2004 7:21 am
May I suggest the following steps are taken re the HIV scare in the States. Why not simply have a 90 day self imposed quarintine for all performers who either work in the USA and/or visit high risk areas, ie Africa / South America. It would be simple to enforce because other performers and producers would simply check passports and ensure the HIV test was performed at least 90 days from the exit stamp on the passport.
Why should the whole UK industry be brought to a standstill due to the excesses of 1 performer in another country.
The right wing fundamentalists in the USA will have a field day with this, because with the possibility of litigation and also with the fact that even condoms don't protect 100%, with the right media reaction they could effectively shutdown the USA porn business.
So we must be careful not to follow their usual hysteria and simply enforce our own exclusion zone and keep our own performers firmly seated in the UK for the time being.
