XXX Writes:

Hey Mike,
This is another confidential mail to you but as you know, I also shoot in Brazil (along with other scary places).

Darren James (and company) is a regular patron of the brothels in Rio, especially one called 4x4. I have also worked with a boat load of girls in Rio who say that the Americans never test them for HIV. True or not, that is the word on the streets of Rio de Janeiro from the girls who are shooting with American porn crews, and I know of a LOT of crews shooting down there non-condom.

Responsible? Hardly. I also know that cities like Salvador Brazil do not have HIV testing available, and trust me, I have exhausted myself in search of it) yet TT Boy shoots there non-condom and is allowed to waltz right back to L.A. and shoot, and everyone knows he's been there shooting, same with the guys and companies in Rio. I also know the girls in the Philipines were not tested by certain male performers who have shot there.

I was able to get my hands on rapid tests (much like the orasure you posted) for cheap and take them everywhere I go now. They are cheap, fast and apparently I am the only one using them, as the girls are all surprised that I am testing them. They normally just take a higher fee for non-condom.

Unprotected sex with prostitutes in 3rd world countries is dangerous shit. To not test them is as irresponsible as you can get. For the industry to allow these same guys to continue working with no quarantine after such a trip is equally irresponsible. But AIM swears by their failing test, and the industry is brainwashed by them. I personally no longer test with them.

I know this guy and I know he speaks the truth. It's sad but this has been a long time coming. The real surprise is what took it so long.
