It's a lazy post I know but I'm late for work.

Actor's HIV Infection Strikes Calif. Porn Industry

[Ambient Sheep]

James, the first porn actor to test positive for the virus since 1999, had a "stellar record" of tests -- negative every three weeks for the past seven years, [Dr. Mitchell] said.

[She] said James may have contracted the virus about four weeks ago while filming in Brazil on a "non-condom" set.

The Los Angeles-based industry, which normally films three to four films a day, must now wait 60 days to learn whether the deadly virus spread to 14 actresses who had onscreen sex with James, or to the 35 sex partners the women subsequently had.

That's what's always grimly amused me about these people who advertise that "all our actors / escorts / whatever are tested for HIV every week".  Yeah, but HOW many people do you sleep with in the meantime? And HOW long is the incubation period before the test shows up positive?  (It used to be three months, I suppose it's nice that it's now down to under one.)

Poor bastards, though.  Still...

...only about 17 percent of performers use condoms.

What will people do without porn?

Develop mature relationships of their own!!!!

Oh my God!!!
