Today new HIV positive: Break?

22 cases since 2004 is a lot. It seems that AIM does more damage than good.

There is a very good chance that most of the 22 cases are from the gay side of porn and the gay side doesn't do testing. The article is kind of mixing apples with oranges.
 
Either way, shouldnt AIM have let out press releases of the 22 other caases so that others in the biz, cal osha and production companies and partners know and not just keep it to themselves. Whats the whole point of even having AIM, to tell you that %80 of porn stars have herpes and your going to get it too?
 

Mr. Daystar

In a bell tower, watching you through cross hairs.
Just wait. Some California politician is gonna run this shit up the flagpole and try to get a "condoms only" law passed for straight porn and that'll be the end of porn as we know it. No more facials, creampies, ATM's, etc. Many of the genres we love will no longer be legal to produce. And that sucks. But on the brightside, there will still be nasty eastern european and southeast asian porn to look at. You know they aren't going to ruin their porn with whack ass prophylactics.

Condoms in porn = BAD

Unless that politician makes it a Federal law...they'll just shoot elsewhere. All they need are people, slutty clothes, and a mansion with a pool, or an empty warehouse. You can find plenty of those in almost every state, and considering how close Nevada is, less then an hours flight away. I don't know that a law like that would float, it's a huge infringement on so many levels, and it is a known hazard of the profession. This is obviously a fucked up situation, but I've read points made elsewhere, and in other threads about performers crossing from gay to straight movies, and actress's escorting, plus being married, and having open relation ships, and that, in my opinion, is what needs to be worked on. That, and a standard across the industry. The guy in 2004 was working in Brazil, I believe, if they don't conform, and we can't make them, then deny him a right to work here. Put performers under strict contracts.

I would say you are correct in the fact that some politician will try, I don't know about a Californian politician, I think they're all uber liberal Dems, and that's truly a right wing conservative move. Maybe one of the Rep. bible thumper's from the mid West. We haven't heard much from Brownback lately, maybe this will give him a break from harassing the gays.
 
Now I just want to know who they are to see if any of my favorites are affected. Hopefully the names leak soon.

I think the health and well being of people is more important than you not wanting to watch porn where condoms are being used.

It should be a choice that is made by the performers. Not by politicians. I'm all for people staying safe. And people can do that without using condoms in porn. It's all about who these people choose to work with. Doing a scene with your boyfriend or husband for instance, would be safer than doing a scene with a male performer who also does gay porn and tranny flicks. It's a calculated risk. Sex always is.
 
I heard one of the stars rumored to have it is Flower Tucci.

Problem with that rumor. The current chick that is the focus of this latest testing is a relative newcomer in her forties. Flower Tucci fits neither of those descriptions. Also the sixteen or twenty-two cases since whatever date is being used are of people no longer in the biz. Flower is still in the biz.
 
If it's someone who rarely works, my guess is it's someone relatively unknown.

It probably is someone unknown. I read an article that said that AIM does not release the name of the performer anymore, unless they believe they will risk spreading the disease.

Contradict yourself much, scumbag. First you were bleating and shrieking about how any and all porn that used comdoms sucked and that you'd never wtahc it and that "cool shit:rolleyes:" like ATM:rolleyes: would suck if condoms were used. You do know that ATM has been done with condoms, don't you, moron?:ban::rolleyes::thefinger


But then you turn right around and screech that you are all for people staying safe, just as long as it doesn't interfere in any way shape or form with your vile means of pleasuring yourself.

Oh no, you're not much of a hypocrite. you could give a fuck about whether or not a porn star gets HIV, 'cause they'll always be some hot new thing coming down the pike.

You are gutter filth.:thefinger:thefinger:thefinger:ban::ban::ban:
 
Considering it's been 5 years since the last HIV case and considering how much sex goes on in the porn industry, I'd say it looks like they run things pretty well.

Wrong, they could do much better.

AIM Health care is the only "authorized" center in porn valley that administers HIV tests for all of it's performers. The controversy with AIM is that they don't screen for all types of STD's including Hepatitis, which is the reason why so many people within the industry oppose them. A recent news release stated that since 2004, an additional 16 HIV cases associated with the Porn industry were "not" disclosed from AIM.

They are not the only authorized center. There a a few other ones.
 
Why isnt AIM protecting the talent? As soon as a positive performer pops up they should let the industry know about it and not just some state working behind an office in sacramento. They should let the industry know because a lot of the guys that are at the top of the game today started out at gay performers. I really hope AIM does some restructuing after this, not just putting band aids on these stupid procedures that they have right now.
 
one more reason i really like wicked pictures... u rarely see them having sex without condoms! hope some other (great) productions will follow
