In the 1980s, an outbreak of HIV led to the premature deaths of several erotic actors, including John Holmes, Wade Nichols, Marc Stevens, Al Parker and Lisa de Leeuw, among others. These facts led to the creation of the Medical Foundation stop the adult film industry (AIMHCF, Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation in English) that collaborate in the creation of a system in the United States, through which actors would be submitted erotic to HIV testing every 30 days. All sexual contacts are regitrados, and the emergence of a positive case makes all individuals involved in the last 3-6 months are located and retest. The use of condoms became standard in films whose themes include homosexual anal sex. AIDS cases in the adult industry have declined markedly in recent years thanks to these measures, although there is Henry Fool disagreement about these figures and are Henry believed to be cases that is not known.In April 2004, a wave of panic hit the U.S. industry heterosexual porn, when two porn stars tested positive for HIV in California, the principal place of porn production in the country. The industry voluntarily agreed to cease production for 30 days while the matter was resolved, although initially planned a 60-day moratorium. Two actors, Darren James and Lara Roxx, were initially positive, be so prohibited any production explicit sexual content. About sixty actors who had maintained contact with James and Roxx stopped working until the next round of AIDS testing was completed and released them from suspicion. At the end of the moratorium, a total of five actors were diagnosed with the virus: one man and four women (Miss Arroyo and Jessica Dee, also Roxx), including a transsexual.It is believed that James probably contracted the virus while filming a movie in Brazil, broadcast at other women, except for the transsexual actress, who was considered an unrelated case. Roxx was shocked by the news, believing that porn actors were healthier than the general public. The AIMHCF ensures that the rates of Fay Grim STDs in adult film actors, according to its test routines, is 80 lower than the general public. However, according to the Department of Public Health in Los Angeles, the data are different, and it is estimated that STD infections such as gonorrhea or chlamydia, are higher in adult film actors. Because of this outbreak, the California state government considered the regulation of the industry. There were those who proposed the mandatory use of condoms in explicit scenes, but the reception was mainly opposed that idea.On the one hand, it was alleged that some actors refused condom use, on the other hand, argued that the measure would produce a decline in sales, and that pornographers do not accept its use in movies. Also commented that if regulated the use of condoms, probably emerge underground industry, which could not be done the thorough testing of control AIMHCF. In 2007, a study by the Department of Public Health Los Angeles (main production of pornography in the U.S.), showed that only 17 of the actors made regular use of condoms during filming of movies.While stressing the work of the AIMHCF, also testified that the checks did not prevent the appearance of new cases, but only control the spread of outbreaks. In June 2009, the AIMHCF reported another positive finding for AIDS, although it seems the infection has not occurred during the performance of the profession, but in private life of the actress.From the health system in Los Angeles said there were 16 HIV cases not without official reports in the adult film industry. AIMHCF He countered that such cases did not involve actors of companies followed their protocols evidence, but people outside the industry who also used their services or individuals seeking to work as pornographicactors, but they never do because of positive HIV or other STDs. was banned in France by law the projection of pornographic films on television in which no condom was used. In Brazil, condom use is widespread in the production of pornographic films. On the other hand, the gay porn industry, sector where an estimated half the players are carriers, also is in favor of condom use in productions that include explicit sex.
