HIV testing
The extent of infection among those performers is unknown because no government or regulatory medical agency has ever tracked the industry consistently. The limited data that does exist is alarming. The Adult Industry Medical HealthCare Foundation (AIM), an industry-backed clinic in Sherman Oaks, administered voluntary tests to a group consisting primarily of adult film workers. Of 483 people tested between October 2001 and March 2002, about 40% had at least one disease. Nearly 17% tested positive for chlamydia, 13% for gonorrhea and 10% for hepatitis B and C, according to Sharon Mitchell, a former adult actress who founded AIM. None of the tests came up positive for HIV, Mitchell said. The testing was funded in part by the Los Angeles County Health Department.

By comparison, 23,277 cases of gonorrhea were reported statewide in 2001, less than one-tenth of 1% of the state's population, according to the Department of Health Service's division of communicable disease control. For chlamydia, 101,871 cases were reported for the year, or about three-tenths of 1%--a rate health officials consider epidemic. The chlamydia rates in the porn world are about 57 times higher than those epidemic proportions. But that and other statistics can also be explained by the small size of the population and its abnormally high rate of sexual activity.


...I don´t know for sure but it seems to me a trustworthy reading.



So 10% of the industry has Hep B and C, but it isn't an STD? You are such a tool Mister. If you did a validation against the general population, you would clearly not even be a fraction of 1% of the total population... The FACTS are, that AIM is neglecting a very critical disease from it's testing. If a girl or guy tests with you for HEP, you do not let anyone know about it. It is their decision to keep working or not with the incurable disease.

This sickens me. To hear you come in here and say, "It's not AIM who sets the standards for testing, it is the talent is ridiculous. The talent have very little power 99% of the time. If AIM escalates to the government about Hep getting out of control (along with staph and other nasty bugs) perhaps something will be done about it. However, Sharon can't bite the hand that feeds her can she?

As sad as it is, porn needs to be regulated more. The girls never know when that load of cum is going to be a death sentence or give them a lifetime of medical issues. Guys never know what to expect or what disgusting rot is in that nasty vagina he's about to fuck. You know that super, anti-biotic resistent bugs are being created because pornstars pop anti-biotics like vitamins. The male talent is injecting shit into their dicks and taking Cealis or Viagra on a daily program. It's fucking up the health of the nation.

Yes these performers need the money and have very little skills to fall back on, but lets be realistic here. AIM doesn't care about the talent. If they did they would never let a HEP C + person back into the talent pool unchecked. Sure check for HIV, but let them die of some other incurable disease... and then pat yourselves on the back and blame the industry as a whole for not demanding more.
