Porn actor has tested positive for HIV; industry clinic officials confirm a quarantin

Re: Porn actor has tested positive for HIV; industry clinic officials confirm a quara

Considering that it can take months to detect there's no telling how many people he/she may have infected

I hope it wasn't Nick Manning. It'd be a shame if he stopped droppin' loads.

Based on what I've read, the testing is performed on a schedule and the type of testing performed is reliable as soon as 2 weeks after exposure.

I just thought he was guessing. Hence, the "2 cents" icon after his statement.

I don't read that at all. I could be wrong but it seems he meant it as an fyi. That's usually what :2 cents: means. :2 cents:

And he said "It is...", not "I'm guessing..", "It might be.." or "I think..." etc.:2 cents:

On the AIM website it mentions that they only test for 3 diseases, it's called the AIM panel.

https://www4683.ssldomain.com/aimcheck/vic/test/test2x5civ.php?dsid=1347

They do test for Chlamydia, but not Herpes, Syphilis, Hep A, B, or C or HPV.

They may do this because of the cost associated with testing for all of the above diseases, but for Herpes, based on what those in the industry have said it's because of the widespread prevalence of it in the industry

Again, there's evidence of anything there, other than what they test for. Until I'm presented with reliable conclusive evidence, it's all just anecdotal.

Ah. Guess its a difference in meaning I would not have picked up on. In most places I have frequented (both online and IRL) the phrase "just my 2 cents worth" means its just a limited guess.

I've never seen or heard it used in the way you describe in my 40 years of life. Welcome to Freeones.com I guess.

It can be used both ways. To denote and opinion or an fyi....at least in the US those are the common uses for:2 cents:

Certainly I wouldn't think a guess would start with "It is..." unless said in jest...but in either case I guess we'll find out soon enough.:2 cents:

Yeah, I'm more than willing to believe I've read it wrong. My bad.

I read somewhere else that it was a straight+gay porn male too so I'd say it was an fyi

Cr453:
For the disease in question yes the rate of infection is lower, but for other diseases, such as herpes, HPV, and chlamydia (some of which aren't tested for because of their high frequency in the industry population) the rate of infection is much higher which is to be expected given the frequent rate of exposure among the performers.

shayd:
I've yet to see anything other than anecdotal evidence of that statement. But that being said, sample size is huge in regard to infection rate.

Just for my own amusement and curiosity, I decided to do a little digging around, because I love solving mysteries. I found an analysis at the US National Institute of Health:

Among 825 performers screened in 2000–2001, 7.7% of females and 5.5% of males had chlamydia, and 2% overall had gonorrhea. These rates are much higher than in patients visiting family planning clinics, where chlamydia and gonorrhea rates were 4.0% and 0.7%, respectively. Some might argue that this program of STD testing keeps rates of HIV and other STDs lower than in other sex-related industries, and in fact, a recent study of prostitutes in San Francisco found 6.8% and 12.4% positivity rates for chlamydia and gonorrhea, higher than rates in the adult film industry.

Between January 2003 and March 2005, approximately 976 performers were reported with 1,153 positive STD test results. Of the 1,153 positive test results, 722 (62.6%) were chlamydia, 355 (30.8%) were gonorrhea, and 126 (10.9%) were coinfections with chlamydia and gonorrhea. Less is known about the prevalence and risk of transmission of other STDs such as syphilis, herpes simplex virus, human papillomavirus, hepatitis B or C, trichomonal infection, or diseases transmitted through the fecal–oral route.

Now we're getting somewhere. My only issue with that is what the population size of adult performers is. I'd always assumed there were at least a few thousand performers, and if that is indeed the case, that may be a classic example of small sample size. On a side note, I wish AIM would just list some of the statistics themselves. It would facilitate so much.

This is the actor who tested positive?

Just for my own amusement and curiosity, I decided to do a little digging around, because I love solving mysteries. I found an analysis at the US National Institute of Health:

That's consistent with the information I have on this issue. And as I previously stated Herpes and HPV infection rates are unknown as that information isn't released, likely because of the high rate of prevalence in the industry.

And in other news Hustler and Digital Playground have ceased production along with Wicked and Vivid.
