HIV positive Pornstars

     I've been doing a lot of reading lately about what's going on in the world.. No I'm not talking about the starving kids in Africa, or Obama's political problems. I'm talking more on issues that I read on the walls of people's blogs. There seem to be tons of things going on that I had no clue about. But out of all the things that I've read, there was one subject that really caught me attention. So since it's been a while since I've updated MY blog, I've decided to speak out on this, and maybe get others opinion on the subject.

     I'll start off by going back to a stereotypical topic circling the gay community even today.  HIV/AIDS. I've befriended a few people in my lifespan that had or have, HIV or AIDS. I've never been the type to judge anyone on the mistakes they've made to become apart of this horrible epidemic. But how they live there lives after the knowledge of contraction has always been a different story. I look at the infected as I look at any other person, but what happens when those in that group decide to involve themselves in activities that knowingly put hundreds of others in danger. The biggest question I guess is what if they're being paid for it.

     I recently read an article in a pornstar's  blog where he interviewed another well known pornstar about the happenings of his life from adolescence up to now. During the interview the pornstar came out about his positive HIV status, told his story about how he dealt wit it, and later went on to say that he eventually went back to doing porn. He also stated that he knows other "models" in the industry that are poz and have not came out about it, but still work in the industry. "It's just one of those things that some people feel will hurt their careers if people found out." he want on to explain. But from my understanding of the article, the producers knew about the poz results, just encouraged safe sex if they were to keep making films. 

     Now again I'm not judging. I really don't know how to feel about this. Surely some people would be outraged at the fact that companies are continuing to allow HIV positive stars  to continue to work in the field. Even if condoms are used, they have been proven to be less than 100% effective and the fact that they're getting paid for this........ service, just makes me really wonder what is being said. I don't really know the whole process in which they handle the situation. Do they tell HIV neg stars that the person they're about to do a scene with is poz? Do you have a choice on whether or not you want to take the chance of the condom holding up? Or is it a, what you don't know won't hurt you, kind of ordeal. The interviewee did state that there are some companies that won't match poz performers with neg performers, but with that being said, he did say some. Would it be discrimination or legal consequences behind getting rid of someone because of there status. It makes me think just how many people in this industry is HIV positive and refuse to inform there coworkers for fear of having to find work in another industry. 

     I simply say to each it's own and keep my penis on a selective servicing basis... What do you think.
