Porn filmmaking shut down after performer tests HIV positive - (Los Angeles)
LA Times ^ | August 29, 2011 | Molly Hennessy-Fiske

An adult film performer has tested HIV positive, prompting a temporary shutdown Monday of adult film productions across Los Angeles until further testing can confirm the results, an industry trade group said.

“Until we know for sure, we’ve asked the industry to have a moratorium on production,” said Diane Duke, executive director of the Free Speech Coalition, a Canoga Park-based porn industry trade group.

Duke’s group became aware of the possible HIV case Saturday, according to a statement released to porn industry media. Duke would not say how her group learned about the possible HIV case.

She said she notified adult film production companies across the San Fernando Valley on Monday morning that a performer had tested positive and urged them to temporarily halt productions until further tests were completed.

Duke said company officials she spoke with -- including those at well-known studios, such as Hustler and Evil Angel -- agreed to the temporary shutdown.

Duke said she could not release the performer’s name, age or gender. Further testing will likely be completed within a week, she added. Her group will notify performers who had sex with the potentially infected person so they can get tested.

The porn industry trade group is called “The Free Speech Coalition”? They have sex with goats and they’re worried they might not get to give a speech to support a Democrat politician? Free speech is pornography? I guess free speech also includes the right to not tell your fellow porn movie participants that having sex with you is lethal.

What does illicit screwing have to do with free speech? Good grief...we really are to blame for allowing so many activist (read commie) judges to be appointed and/or confirmed.

The White Crib is infected with the Muslim Brotherhood. Can we shut that down, too?

Everything they do is a “re-run.” They really shouldn’t need new production. They must have enough inventory for the next 500 years.

Yeah, probably. The black guy (or is he a babe) on the right looks scared to death. I wonder if he's worried.
