PORN ACTOR'S HIV INFECTION FREEZES ADULT FILMING

BEIJING, April 16 (Xinhuanet) -- Filming in California's multi-billion-dollar porn industry has been frozen after a popular actor tested positive for the virus that causes AIDS.

Porn actor Darren James tested positive for HIV this week in screening conducted routinely on the industry's 1,200 regular actors.

Industry advocates immediately called for a 60-day moratorium on filming so that others could be tested.

The Los Angeles-based industry normally completes three to four adult films a day.

It must now wait to see if the deadly virus has spread to 14 actresses who had onscreen sex with James, or to the 35 sex partners the women subsequently had.

[Peter J. Huss]

What is interesting is that he had 14 coworkers who he may have infected who had sex with another 35 individuals.

Now, some women and men may be working overtime, but that is more than 2 additional sexual partners per woman.

Who else did those 35 have sexual relations with?

Currently, we have 50 people swapping spit, so to speak. I am willing to bet that this particular infection pool will be very closely studied because, well, we have photographic evidence of the relationships so we don't need to rely as much on people reporting what actually happened.

I am also willing to bet that these people did not use protected sex during the filming of the 'movies'. I am also willing to bet that this is generally true of most young sexually active people.

So, if you are some young college stud or hottie and you think you are only having sex with one or two people a year, in reality, you are possibly sharing multiple viruses with dozens or perhaps hundreds of people.

i agree to a point with that.

yes, it isnt very Christian to enjoy suffering by either side...

BUT, this does help confirm the Sodom and Ghamorrah aspect of the Bible. the "man shall not lie with man..." and other such demands set by God to establish the Jews from the rest of the world were given as protection, not puppetering.

[Ben Bolt]

Yeah .. Now they need Jesus . Odd how that works sometimes .

[TankerKC]

Who would not be happy at that?

Maybe he's not mentally ill. Taking such joy in another's pain is not right...no matter the person.

That's right. Sickness is an enemy of God. He never wills that sickness has victory in the earth, that's why He gave these warnings in the Bible.

And for the same reason He did this:

Acts 10:38  How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

His mercy is everlasting. He has grace and forgiveness for any and all who repent.

It worked for me.

God, please heal them, deliver them, and save them.

Oh I dont doubt . But I suspect you did not run to Jesus because of something you chose to do that could kill you . I suspect you claimed him in your life as a guiding light as millions do because you see a value .

My 1st thought in responding to your comment was how typical that some folks only want him when they have an issue bigger than they can handle & dont give him a single thought until then .

Christian charity never ceases to amaze me.

It's a wonder to behold, ain't it? Makes you all warm and fuzzy inside, like when all those Christ-killing Jews got put in their place in the 40's, or when those heathen witches got hanged and tortured in the good old Inquisition days, when right was right and we didn't have all this nonsensical "empathy" for other people.

If you believe that about the first post then I must question your reading skills. I believe that you rejoiced also.

Actually, both of those are correct, and I was scared spitless. He will take you either way. The reason is irrelevant, He looks for sincerity and commitment. Porn actors are not too sinful for Jesus, neither are murderers, prostitutes or terrorists.
