There are many suggestions to protect porn workers from disease. Regular blood tests, condoms, simulated sex. I was recently looking around the net and came across some interesting information from the CDC.

* According to the 2000 census, blacks make up approximately 13% of the US population. However, in 2005, blacks accounted for 18,121 (49%) of the estimated 37,331 new HIV/AIDS diagnoses in the United States in the 33 states with long-term, confidential name-based HIV reporting [2].*

* Of all black men living with HIV/AIDS, the primary transmission category was sexual contact with other men, followed by injection drug use and high-risk heterosexual contact [2].

* Of all black women living with HIV/AIDS, the primary transmission category was high-risk heterosexual contact, followed by injection drug use [2].

* Of the estimated 141 infants perinatally infected with HIV, 91 (65%) were black (CDC, HIV/AIDS Reporting System, unpublished data, December 2006).

* Of the estimated 18,849 people under the age of 25 whose diagnosis of HIV/AIDS was made during 2001–2004 in the 33 states with HIV reporting, 11,554 (61%) were black [3].

Most porn workers live high risk life styles inside and outside of their profession compared to the general public. I would think that looking at the CDC information it would be easy to conclude that avoiding interracial scenes and working with performers who do IR scenes would offer a significant decrease in the risk of HIV for many individuals who perform in the industry who hope to live many years beyond their time as a porn performer in addition to the measures already available and in use.

Tritone incoming........ LOL
