All it takes is one Outbreak on one person to spread it like wild fire when a talent spreads his/her legs. This is reality...deal with it...Herpes is never going to go away!



With an attitude like that, then no, it isn't going away.
If the industry was a little more proactive and divided the talent into pools corresponding to their herpes status/type, then you would cut the spread of it in no time.

Don't get me wrong...I'm sure plenty of people come in to the industry with herpes already, but it's simple logic to say 'Performer X has herpes, performer Y doesn't, therefore X and Y shouldn't work together.'

After all, we already separate HIV+ performers from HIV- performers, and Evil Angel has already shot a scene with two performers from the HIV+ pool (John Stagliano and Tricia Devereaux respectively), so why couldn't this be done with herpes? I think the industry is missing a trick here, personally.

And testing for the virus itself, and banning people with herpes from working, would mean the porn industry would lose 99% of the talent. (And I don't care what they tell you, they all have it.)




Nobody is saying 'ban'...but I am saying 'segregate'. Talent with herpes can just keep on working with fellow talent with herpes (which, if the rumours are true, is quite a hefty talent pool to choose from). Those who don't just work with other people who don't have herpes. Simple and effective.
