From 2004 to 2012 there were no cases of HIV infection contracted on the set of porn productions. All pornographic actors are required to log all of their sexual activities, including with whom, and have been since 2000. Since that time, virtually all HIV infections happened due to private sexual activities.
All active actors are now tested at 30 day intervals, and positive test results lead to all sexual contacts for the last three to six months being contacted and re-tested.
The bottom line is that the tiny number of the thousands of active pornographic actors, who have contracted HIV, is a tiny fraction of a percent; far lower than for the population as a whole.
Black Americans represent about 14% of the US population, but account for almost half of HIV infections.
Therefore God must be angry at black Americans. Or just maybe it would be vanity for us to assert so.
Well said, but youre wasting your time with these people.
Please do not blame God for the sinful behavior of fools.
AIDS is the result of years of abuse of recreational drugs, particularly “poppers.” Funny thing about destroying your body with drugs: More drugs can’t save you from the consequences of your actions.
Yehova’s retribution is automatic; you do it to yourself!

True!
And “HIV” is nothing but a contrived cash cow for the pharmaceutical poison industry, and the Med Mafia.
Now you’ve done it!
There’re going to label you as Racisss.
My point is that it screams ignorance to point at HIV and cite it as evidence that God is cursing someone while completely ignoring the mindset that feeds off it. Sex was given to us by God as part of the marriage covenant. We are the ones who screwed that up - not God.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
HIV is a bad one, but with the advances in the cocktail mix, nobody seems to die of it anymore. Maybe long term they do, but Magic looks well.
This is kind of a silly claim, given that the Porn industry has been extremely pro-active regarding STDs. They test constantly, and shut down whenever there is a single positive. Sex workers are probably some of the safest people around who have more than one sex partner.
The porn industry is probably it’s own curse!
Sigh. Attributing such as “God’s Curse” is not much different than those who misquote the Bible to try to justify their own brand of evil. If it is “God’s Curse”, then one must also consider that all the straight and unsuspecting folks who get HIV because of an errant partner are also under the curse.
God rarely uses disease to punish the sinful (which includes all of us). But when a community shakes its fist at the Almighty, like the porn community, He very well may use disease (or pestilence or some other horror) to punish the defiant sinners.
As in Pharoah’s Egypt. And Sodom and Gommorah.
And yes, indeeed, there are some blameless individuals who contracted HIV through aboslutely no fault of their own. But the vast majority of the HIV positive – including homosexuals and porn actors – contracted the dread disease through promiscuous sex.
That can be viewed as a curse.
“Black Americans represent about 14% of the US population, but account for almost half of HIV infections.
Therefore God must be angry at black Americans. Or just maybe it would be vanity for us to assert so.”
Homosexuals are what 3% of the population so what is the rates of HIV among them?
So there is a “God’s hate” hierarchy. In order:
1) Homosexuals and IV drug users.
2) Black people.
3) The general population.
4) Porn actors.
