HIV is a harmless virus and does NOT causes AIDS.

Hustler Director Kris Kramski Writes: The tests that talent in our industry take every 30 days does not detect the presence of HIV. It detects the presence of HIV "antibodies"... The person with a positive result has at one point been exposed to HIV, but fought back by creating "antibodies" against the virus. It means in fact that the person is healthy: Good news!

Mandatory HIV testing every 30 days for performers in the business is a waste of their time and money. Requesting that they use condoms when they shoot a scene may prevent a few STDs infections here and there, but is a useless measure as far as AIDs is concerned. The choice should be left to performers and performers alone, and productions companies should stay out of the whole thing. Productions companies requesting that talent show a current AIDs test on set, are adding to the already excessive amount of paperwork, and by their request, are indirectly bringing undue validity to the assumed need for recurring HIV testing. Directors and producers are required - under the law - to check and document that performers are sober, willing participants at the time of the shoot, and 18 years of age or older. Anything else is an arbitrary and unnecessary.

It has never ever been proven scientifically that HIV causes AIDs. This assertion is a lie destined to terrorize sexually active individuals. Most importantly, it guarantees huge profits to pharmaceutical companies, as well as endless monetary subventions and governmental funding to AIDs research organizations.

Can you remember the early days of AIDS? when we were told it was contagious? Well by now - (if it truly was contagious) we'd be faced with a sizeable epidemic. But the number of people infected has remained low, and mostly contained within specific groups.

As members of the adult industry, we are, in a way, at the forefront of sexual _expression - Other factors can weaken or destroy the immune system. The slow death seen among "AIDs victims is not caused by the HIV virus.

For those convinced that I'm wrong but willing to discuss the matter: Could you ever so kindly educate me and show me the actual sound scientific data that proves (or establishes with a preponderance of probabilities) that HIV is the cause of AIDs. I have searched for this information over the years and have not found it.

To those prompt to crucify me with an air of indignation: Are you displaying bad faith to cover up for your gullibility over the last 20 years?

To all others, relax - the danger is not as real as what we have been conditioned to believe over the years.

If my words here made sense to you, shoot me back a little email ( kramski@pacbell.net )It'll be nice to know that I am not the only one in the industry with similar views.

Thanks for reading.

Best, Kris Kramski
