Now back to the issue at hand before any more retards keep derailing this thread with pics of my massive wang:
AIM tests for three different Herpes tests: Herpes Type 1, Herpes Type 2, and Herpes 1/2 IGM (which I believe stands for immunoglobin). The first two tests look for the virus itself and the third (Herpes 1/2 IGM) looks for anti-bodies in layman's terms. AIM "suggests" talent get tested for Herpes every 6 months (compared to monthly for Chlamydia/Gonorrhea/HIV); you can guess how often that happens.
The last time I got tested at AIM I asked quite a few questions about that third test; basically it can act as an early indicator of a possible infection but can be influenced by a ton of different factors because it does not test for the virus itself (anything from a cole sore to a flu).
Now I've heard the 99% of people in porn have Herpes but I don't think that's the case. There is a giant difference between HSV 1 and HSV 2; yeah, 99% of the porn world might have "Herpes" but its probably HSV 1. Wikipedia says its 80-90% of normal people have antibodies to the virus (and roughly 20% of adults have HSV-2); its one of those infections that builds up over time, or can be influenced by a number of other factors. Did she know she had HSV-1 this entire time and now she might now possibly have HSV-2? Its really unclear from her post.
I really wonder if there's different strains of each virus perhaps with different virulence; similar to how HIV has different strains depending on origin and mutation. PAGING Dr. Sharon!
Now the question is does Belladonna have another infection or virus that has opened her up to an infection if its supposedly that bad? Either an STD AIM doesn't test for or a virus that isn't sexually transmitted? Perhaps a form of Hepatitis?
Now if everyone in porn was getting the "everything" test at AIM (suggested every six months) MONTHLY, could something like this have been prevented? The only difference is the price which is sad in an industry this cheap; its the same amount of blood and piss you need from what I recall.
I liked Belladonna (and she did an awesome interview with my old newspaper The Koala YEARS ago Interview's on Page 6 With a Bunch of Christian Porn Protestors Too) that was even cited in Nacho's fucking wikipedia entry that he had the thickest cock in porn. She was my fave years ago but that whole pregnancy angle weirded me out.
Sad to see it happened to her, but jesus, what the fuck do you expect when you fuck that many people without protection?
Hopefully its a wake-up call for the industry to take Herpes seriously, especially if there's some crazy super virus running around the industry.
You are very stupid and naive. It is the genital herpies, not the HSV1 which almost everyone has. Think about it... Most porn is condomless. Herpes can be spread even with condoms. People sleeping with dozens of sex partners will eventually get it... especially when all those sex partners also have it. Since it is a porn whore's bread and butter to sell her body parts, she will often work even with an infection. We know as a fact most guys work during an outbreak. However, there doesn't have to be a visible outbreak to be shedding skin cells containing the virus. So yes jackass, 99% of porn people have fucking herpes and the ones that don't just haven't been in the business long enough. Everyone in porn just assumes everyone else has it, so there isn't a lot of remorse about working with an outbreak apparently. How many directors have the ethics to shut down a porn shoot because the male or female talent has a problem. Girls work with raging staph infections and Christian eats their rotten vaginas. That is how it works.
