Pfft they don't care. Well I should say some don't care. It's not a legal requirement if the guys are willing to sign their safety away. So I'm sure some of the worse people in the industry would find vulnerable, attractive men who are willing to sign such contracts, just so they can make a profit.

I think most of those p0rn actors are hiv positive.

You'd be wrong actually 

Adult film stars have a muuuch lower rate of sexually transmitted disease infection when compared to the general population. These people are tested almost every single week/time they are going to perform in a film actually

Good for him for speaking up! We need to end the stigma around this disease and educate people about how advanced HIV medication is nowadays. 

Most people with access to meds can expect the disease to be significantly lowered to the point it's classed as 'undetectable' meaning they live healthy, happy, sexually active lives. At undetectable the risk of passing the disease on is almost zero. In fact I believe in all studies done so far there hasn't been a single case of a + undetectable passing on HIV to an uninfected person. 

We also need to stop judging people in general if they are HIV+. People make mistakes sometimes and it's not anybody's place to blame and shame them, we have no idea what their experience has been. Plus condoms can break, you can put your trust in the wrong person, you may even be sexually assaulted and any of those things could possibly lead to an infection so I think society needs to be better at dealing with this topic and I'm glad he's spoken up about it. 

Stay safe and get tested; it's always better to know!

(I didnt watch the vid so if he got it from his personal life. Ignore this

He didn't get it through **** 

That is very very very rare

In fact the first ever recorded transmission of HIV on a p0rn set happened last year: http://www.hivequal.org/on-health/preventing-the-spread-of-hiv-in-the-****-industry

Also, I've never really thought about this before, but how strange is it that some people live in this world knowing that if you Google their full name, dozens of pictures of them with their d.icks out will appear in 1.5 seconds   wild.

I have never understood the common-knowledge of p**n stars in the gay community as a subcultural component. (is it the same thing with straight people?) 

Why is this something we should be proud of?  I'm not a prude and do view p**n but I there's no reason to put these "stars" on a pedestal at bars or pride events when they assimilate to gender and sexuality norms.  The gay community is hyper-sexualized to a fault.  

Good on him for trying to end the stigma.  I can't even imagine what it must be like.  Of course his message will be well-recieved because he is (by societal standards) a good looking white guy.

While this is true in theory, there have been multiple cases of p0rn production companies falsifying HIV tests for several reasons:

1. Bragging rights over how the p0rn industry has low infection rates
2. Not wanting to ditch performers that have HIV and conduct in unprotected sex
3. Actually testing people costs loads of money and they don't wanna pay
4. Halting p0rn production because somebody got tested positive in the middle is expensive
5. When production is halted for one movie, production for ALL movies is halted because p0rn actors get around

While parts of the adult film industry have gotten a lot better and a lot more secure, there are still parts that are as sick and inhumane as they were centuries ago.

Very true, and just like every industry, some companies are better at following the rules and regulations than others

I would say big film companies (Sean Cody, Men.com, etc) are pretty good at screening. Of course smaller productions are less likely to be able to afford testing, which is unfortunate. 

This is why California has contemplated banning **** companies to film in the state. I already think it's banned in LA (could be wrong on that tho). It's a very contentious debate tbh

Yeah a lot of companies won't both testing. It's too costly and time consuming. Even if they do test it's usually a 3rd gen test so the accuracy is hindered. 

I have a friend who does **** and he's said he has never been made to get tested. He just signs a contract to say he doesn't have any diseases and that's it. If they knowingly lie then the contract will be used against them. That's how they 'test' tbh, with contracts not blood.

im no longer in contact with him, he doesn't have the same number anymore and removed his Facebook with his real name. Last time I spoke to him was a year ago when he visited my town that he used to live in too. 

He is very nice though!

Probably best to keep my p0rn life away from my online life, which I keep away from my real life tbh
