pringles All-Star Member 1351 Posts 2/08	Posted - Apr 15 2017 : 9:08PM Preliminary Production Hold Called (FSC) The Free Speech Coalition is calling for a precautionary production hold after a possible positive test for HIV by an adult performer listed in the PASS database. The performer had not worked on an adult set during the window of transmission, and had not participated in any fluid exchange shoots since their last negative test. The test has not yet been confirmed, and we will know whether or not it is a false positive in the next several days. If it is a false positive, the hold will be lifted on Wednesday. Out of an abundance of precaution, we are asking that producers stop filming until we are able to confirm all facts. We will also proactively begin partner notification and retest anyone who might have had contact with the performer since their last clear test. The Free Speech Coalition periodically calls production holds if there is a possible HIV exposure within the adult film community. Production holds are an important part of the safety protocols in adult film, but does not signal an actual on-set transmission, nor a confirmed positive test. The adult film industry has not seen an on-set transmission of HIV on a PASS-regulated set in over a decade. [Link]

pringles All-Star Member 1351 Posts 2/08	Posted - Apr 17 2017 : 2:27PM Production Hold Update (FSC) As announced on Saturday, the adult industry is maintaining a production hold until Wednesday, due to a possible positive test for HIV. The performer is currently being retested to determine if it was a false positive. Test results and partner lists are expected to be confirmed within the next 24 hours. The performer with the possible positive test has been working with a PASS medical advisor, and partner notifications have begun. Based on current information, we do not believe there is a threat to the integrity and safety of the performer pool. The performer in question had not performed on any fluid exchange sets since their last negative test, or performed on any adult set during the possible window of transmission. We also ask that both the press and those within our community refrain from speculating on or disclosing the identity of the performer. Regardless of whether or not the test is confirmed as positive, all performers deserve medical privacy and personal compassion - values our community has fought for forcefully over the past several years. Fear, shame and stigma are preventable. [Link]

pringles All-Star Member 1351 Posts 2/08	Posted - Apr 18 2017 : 4:43PM Production Hold To Be Lifted Wednesday (FSC) We can now confirm the positive test by an adult film performer on Saturday was from an exposure in their personal life during a hiatus in filming, and did not in any way compromise or affect the performer pool. The PASS system was alerted on Saturday when the performer attempted to return to work after a twenty-five day break. No other adult performers were exposed to or contracted the virus. The performer had last performed on-set nearly a month ago, on March 24, on the same day as they last tested negative for the full STI panel. That shoot was a toy-only shoot that did not involve any fluid exchange or other mode for viral transmission. The performer has worked diligently with PASS medical advisors and administrators to reconstruct a viral genealogy that includes contacts in both their personal and work lives. All partners, regardless of their relationship to the adult industry, have been notified. While none of the performer's shoots carried a significant risk of transmission, and all fell outside the possible window of transmission, PASS protocols dictated a proactive testing of all performer partners within the last two months once a possible positive test is returned. While the science behind the genealogy is clear, we understand that HIV transmission is an emotional issue as well. As such, we have provided free retests for the performer's scene partners from the past two months when requested. "While we understand that production holds are difficult for performers as well as producers, they are essential to the safety and integrity of the performer pool,' said Eric Paul Leue, Executive Director of the Free Speech Coalition. "A production hold is the sign of a functional system protecting adult performers. The PASS system has once again successfully prevented any transmission of HIV on a regulated adult set, as it has for over ten years. We are working with the performer to get them to the resources and treatment to help manage their status, and appreciate their commitment, honesty and participation. "We ask that everyone respect and protect the privacy of the performer and have empathy. We are working with the performer and PASS medical advisors to facilitate linkage to care and provide support." Barring any further developments, production hold will be lifted on Wednesday, April 19, 2017. However, the PASS database will be unlocked today, so that performers may retest in order to be cleared for work, and plan for travel and upcoming shoots. Existing PASS tests which have not expired are still valid. Additionally, select PASS affiliated clinics, including TTS Northridge, TTS Vegas and CET Sherman Oaks, will offer extended hours today, until 6PM, in order to allow testing for performers whose tests have expired.

whatsatelephonebill Senior Member 2935 Posts 10/11	Posted - Apr 19 2017 : 10:48PM ^ I agree that there's no reason we need to know outside of trying to blame someone/thing. That being said, the statement gives us a good guess as to the gender. [Link]
snufish Member 580 Posts 4/14	Posted - Apr 20 2017 : 9:03AM Doesn't matter the gender, this is just confirmation that some performers are barebacking with untested persons or use drugs via needles and then try to contaminate the talent pool. [Link]

Flash Golden Age Classic 11018 Posts 5/01	Posted - Apr 21 2017 : 11:55AM I am amazed at how many people here, who literally know nothing about what happened, keep trying to incite the pitchfork mob to go after the person. Based on NO evidence at all. [Link]
Maxxx Stirner Deactivated User 319 Posts 11/14	Posted - Apr 23 2017 : 4:12PM Most likely another risk group risk behavior positive result just like the ones before. [Link]

Maxxx Stirner Deactivated User 319 Posts 11/14	Posted - Apr 23 2017 : 7:03PM Well I said most likely so I would not call that pitch forking. It is hard to deny however the common characteristics of the last few performers who have tested Gallo positive. The fact that you just don't see A and even B list performers testing positive should tell you something. I do acknowledge that testing has kept a lot of toxic oxidized bodies out of the performer pool. Whatever else I may say about the HIV/AIDS hypothesis, I do think testing has worked to keep these things out. [Link]
fanofman Senior Member 2053 Posts 9/15	Posted - Apr 23 2017 : 7:13PM Kelli Roberts wrote an article about this. [Link]
Maxxx Stirner Deactivated User 319 Posts 11/14	Posted - Apr 24 2017 : 1:09AM Well if the speculation in that Kelli Roberts turns out to be true than it continues the risk group/behavior trend of Gallo positivity. I'm one of those people that is pro integration and would like to see a bisexualized industry in the long run. For this to happen you will need integrated testing across homo and heteroland and you will also need the historical risk groups of 'HIVAIDS' to clean up their act when it comes to things like drug use and other things that induce oxidation. I don't think people like Aubrey Kate and Wolf Hudson should be punished for what their fellow sexual cohorts do on and off set. Go after the behavior not the sexual orientation. [Link]

Click to expand Why should homo or bisexuality in themselves be synonomous with 'hivaids'? It's the toxic behavior and terrain that matters. For the most part those who are doing crossover work do test and or use condoms when on the other side. There's also no evidence that this person tried to spread so called hiv. [Link]
JackSparrow Deactivated User 7235 Posts 7/11	Posted - Apr 24 2017 : 1:43PM in the last article it says toy scene so i assume its most likely it was/is a female performer. still sad for the person regardless the gender. [Link]

Click to expand Look here, these are the facts. The person wanted to work with the talent pool but either had unprotected sex with an untested person/s or did drug use. He/she/it didn't get it from dildos. AFAIK you don't need to test for solo scenes. Not going to debate known stats about HIV transmission and this particular case as it's just beating a dead horse. SWJ's want to ignore known high risk groups & high risk activities.Just going to repeat my post "don't fuck untested people" or to applease you social justice warriors "Don't use dirty dildos". Until Prostitutes/Escorts, drug users, Gay & TS prerformers, anal sex & anal creampies are excluded from straight mainstream pornography. Incidents like these are going to pop up once in a while, kudos to the testing agency & FSC who put a stop to this attempted contamination. I hope they go to a 7day testing period. I've said my piece, I'm out. FYI - mr marcus made an attempt to contaminate the talent pool with syphillis as well. An attempt need not be intentional but it is an attempt none the less, to say otherwise is being unjust to the current clean talent pool. [Link]

Click to expand That is also my understanding of the verb "to try": it means you do something without knowing whether you can do it successfully or not. But you want to do it. It's tough to think of different examples... probably someone would need to have subconsciously different intentions than on the open, e..g. "Why does he all that risky stuff (extreme sports, drinking heavily etc.) that is not good for him?" - "He's trying to kill himself, because he feels guilty for the death of his otter etc." - "She actually tries to push her lover away, because she really doesn't believe she deserves a successful relationship." Such far-reaching (pseudo-)psychological interpretation about someone's motives seems impossible, if we don't know the person quite well. [Link]

This is no better than those who judge porn viewers just based on the fact they view porn. [Link]
Gore Gore Girl Doctor of the Erotic Arts 7238 Posts 1/09	Posted - Apr 26 2017 : 9:35AM ^ It's a bizarre agenda and even more bizarre to deny it. And please, folks, if you're gonna go all MRA on us at least get the acronyms right: it's Social Justice Warrior. SJW. [Link]
