I know that moratorium wasnt really kept, but I bet a lot of Californian directors just flew over to Europe to shoot there in safety. I bet European agencies get their phone lines even hotter than before. European porn studios must profit a lot!

How much was this an international thing? How much just an American one? Producers and insiders please answer (for I really do like Euro-girls!)

By my estimation, the profit is $12.43.

Maybe "profit" is not the right word... (well, I bet for Eurotalent agents it actually is!), but how to phrase it?

I mean, I think more porn gets shot in Europe with European girls not having worked in LA after that outbreak. It will probabely be more difficult to recruit new talent in the USA for a few months until everybody has forgotten about it. It will take some months in which Europe as a porn production place can conquer some decent market share. Maybe not profit, but market share, no?

I just hope they pay more attention to the female talent in Budapest and give Prague a rest.

I read now in another thread that Sharon Mitchell was working in Budapest, too. So, I guess that testing standards are quite good there, too. Also it seems to me that Budapest attracts more girls from neighbouring counties than Prague.

I dont know why Prague is so popular recently, for me Hungarian girls usually are just so much more beautiful. So I am completely with Wally.

That was in 1999. So, research should have moved on. Some more recent infos by Frank Gun here (be aware he is a perfomer not a doctor):

"Frank Gun was kind enough to provide us information on this HIV issue. He did so because at the time he and Mandy Bright were in the US.

According to him Prague was the first city in Europe where the strict regulations were introduced. At first only the Elisa-type HIV test was required, but today HIV, Hepatitis A, B, C, Gonorrhea, Candida, Syphillis and Trichomonas tests are the norm. Hungary is only in the beginning of the process of introducing these tests. In the US industry, HIV-1 DNA by PCR tests, which are able to show blood-borne infections, were used. Over there tests had to be carried out within a month in order to be acceptable. In Hungary the industry uses the HIV DUO 4 test which shows the presence of human antibody against the virus. Tests of this kind are accepted as valid within 21 days of testing. Some companies were using even stricter requirements than these.

Frank adds the following to be taken into consideration:

- the most strict system is the Hungarian because of the 21 day acceptance period
- Hungarian tests have a shorter windowing period (cannot be identified within 2 weeks)
- Hungary as of this writing, did not have any infected people"
