HIV in Porn

Love the line, "I'm going to change the way I do things now — probably just girl-on-girl shoots. Guys, but with condoms," Tyme said.

I must say... I'm not surprised. Not in the least.

hmm, what can I say, I'm out of words

but I do agree with William on that line

I'm confused. I thought they already insisted on safe sex. I thought it was a law or at least an industry-wide standard now.

Any gay movies I've seen are riddled with ugly condoms (and the obvious edit when they are removed). Perhaps straight sex hasn't been thought to be as dangerous. Brilliant.

HIV in Porn? No! Say it aint so! DUH! What's sadder is the fact that the porn industry performers should have been more careful and more regulated after the public deaths of John Holmes and many others.

Another disappointing fact is that the spread of AIDS amongst young people still continues to rise and the "can't happen to me" attitudes in the Latino and African American communities seem to be going from bad to worse.

The truth is there is still no cure and treatment is expensive and very complicated to administer, so be careful out there. Stay safe, put in on before you you put it in.

"Stay safe, put in on before you you put it in."

But it doesn't feel the same!!!

joking aside, always use a helmet when going to battle

there has been increasing numbers of no condom films--
both gay and straight-- some put a bit of bleach into lubes--supposedly to kill the virus if someone is infected
some using female condoms known as 'dams'
and some frankly, going on the hope that recent testings are accurate--

i think the fact it can remain dormant for 10yrs escapes people....

i have had too many friends die of it....and there has been many a times i have wondered how it missed me (not always smart was i)

i hope those who are family and friends that are still out there sowing their wild oats will always be smart enough to cover it and to be safe...

yeah, i read about that as well in the papers... glad i'm not in that business ^^

I just dont get why they dont use condoms always in these movies?

I guess it detracts from the 'vibe' of coitus.

How sad.... Porn is like pop music! its a diseased vibe!
taken into heart for playas that dont know better,
Yo what a lame topic, Aids should be the first thing to come in everyones head when they hear the word porn... not freakin Africa!!!

Well, that's no surprize for me. It had to happen sooner or later...
Such is life.

Something I have never understood: A girl sucks a cock, then puts a condom on it they start to fuck. Why do they need the condom if she has already had the cock in her mouth? It has been proved that AIDS spreads also through oral sex.

True, Whisperer. But it is hard to transmit oral but if she ingests semen from an infected man she can get the virus. If she has sores or bleeding gums she can get the virus too.

There are resistant strains that have been reported that seem to be resistant to the meds out their to control HIV and related ARC symptoms and the strains are able to mutate fast in the body leaving T-cell counts depleting faster.

Please I know sex does not feel the same with a condom on but if you value your life you won't mind wearing one during the act.

Stay safe!

Kriz ;o)

Speaking of condoms, I can't help but get annoyed whenever I watch Zuccero saying "Use the condom! Ciao!" at the end of IWIA on the 46664 DVD
