Tiana Lynn Interview

I call her Friday at 6 p.m. about a report that she has Hepatitis C.

Tiana: "I think there are a lot of ignorant people out there who have no idea what they're talking about. They fear things that they do not know. I am not contagious. I carry an antibody that I will get rid of. But I've already grown out of the Hepatitis. It was two years ago. My past drug history. I've already grown out of it. Therefore, I carry no viral load, nor will I ever. All I've got is an antibody that can not be contaminated to another person.

"The way everybody handled it. I'm having a hard time dealing with it as it is. It's a mistake that I made when I was young and stupid. Everybody thinks it is a problem for them and they don't even see how it is affecting my life."

What happened between you and Tim of Naughty Modeling?

"He just decided to stop giving me work. Again, they don't know what it's really about. He wasn't even concerned about his girl was having a hard time dealing with it as it is, let alone to completely change her life. There are a lot of people out there who are supporting me. Sharon [Mitchell]. I can talk to her anytime. I am most likely going to switch to condom-only if people have a problem with it.

"A lot of people who are former addicts know about this. They know how you get it and how you don't get it."

When did Tim drop you?

"He didn't really drop me. Every day I called to see when I was working and all of a sudden, I wasn't working.

"This was nobody's business to begin with. If this was something I knew could harm the industry, then obviously I am going to take myself out of it. But I knew it wasn't going to affect anybody else. Then his brother Chris, who helps him with the agency, thought I needed to take some time off.

"That's what makes things worse. When you stop your daily routine, that makes things worse. Then all you do is sit around and think about it."

Tiana Lynn has been shooting regularly for seven months, appearing in almost 100 movies. She's shooting her own movies. She's shooting her sequel next week to Tiana Lynn's Cum Rain, Cum Shine. The new one will be called Swallow My Squirt.

Duke: "Sharon Mitchell doesn't have any problem with you working in the industry because she understands it is not contagious?"

Tiana: "Yes. Exactly. If anybody has any questions, they can call her directly and she can explain my case.

"This information is confidential and should not have been out in the first place."

Sorry Ac, but it's true. So I guess you were wrong'

She says she had it in the past and will soon be 100%.

My health means more to me than a quick lay in the sack with her or anyone else. But to each their own. Just let your co-stars make that choice with all the facts present and right before their very eyes.

The Hepatitis C Epidemic

Hepatitis C one of the greatest public health threats faced in this century, and possibly one of the greatest threats to be faced in the next century. Many times more people are infected with hepatitis C than HIV.

There are at least six viruses known to cause liver disease: hepatitis A, B, C, D, E, and G, which vary in their severity and characteristics. Hepatitis C can lead to serious, permanent liver damage, and in many cases, death.

The Hepatitis C (HCV) virus was identified in 1989. Unlike the other types of viral hepatitis, hepatitis C is very difficult for the immune system to overcome.

As a result, most Hepatitis C infections (80-90%) become chronic and lead to liver disease, including cirrhosis (scarring of the liver tissues) and liver failure. Hepatitis C infection is typically mild in its early stages, and it is rarely recognized until it has caused significant damage to the liver. The cycle of disease from infection to significant liver damage can take 20 years or more.

Almost any direct or indirect exposure to infected blood can transmit the virus. This includes I.V. drug use and poorly sterilized medical instruments, blood spills, unbandaged cuts or injuries, and tattooing or body piercing, as well as less obvious sources of blood, such as shared razors or toothbrushes, or body secretions (such as mucous) that may contain small amounts of blood. In about 10% of all cases, no risk factors have been identified.

Heterosexual and homosexual activity, particularly with multiple partners and in the absence of protective measures, can transmit the virus. Close contact between household members has also been implicated.

The symptoms of Hepatitis C are often very mild, at least in the early stages of infection and can be virtually undetectable.

There is no vaccine for Hepatitis C at present, and because of the virus's frequent mutation, it may be a long time before one becomes available. However, because of Hepatitis C's slowly progressive infection, infected patients have long life expectancies, and with proper treatment, many of them can recover completely.

I'm going to believe the woman involved and the doctor involved(AIM) in this situation instead of Gene Ross & a questionably acting agent.

If Tianna or AIM comes out saying she is contagious I will change my opinion, but not before then.

I think people like spreading a smear campaign rather than getting the true details.

We've got some true geniuses in this world. I'm ashamed of such stupidity. There's enough proof on all our news sites to clearly understand that Tiana has Hep. C. Especially if the interview from Luke is legit. Or at least for us to be concerned about the whole situation. Just because it's not HIV doesn't mean you're still okay to work!!!

In serious cases like this regardless if its true or rumor... the situation should be considered (taken seriously) guilty until proven innocent of facts.

Reading ALL the stuff over at lukeisback.com it appears to me the agent is acting the most shady of everyone.

AC Cream

[Link]

Crap, just wait until OSHA hears about this one.

[Link]

I personally think Tianna should get a full panel test again at AIM because they have been known once in a while to come up with false positives.

If she clears that process hopefully, I'll be the first person to shoot her.

Don't believe everything you hear until it's been absolutely validated.

But, rumors are rumors.

[Link]

Rumors, gossip sites, agents aside, if she was diagnosed LAST week with this shit, she could've worked with or fucked around with a lot of people during this unknown period. Those people are now fucking around with a lot of other people.

She came into KSEX the night before these rumors came out all flirty and fun. She looked damn good. I'm glad I didn't take anything to next level, I'll tell ya that!

[Link]

That's why I believe what Tianna is saying is true. If she had tested positive for something contagious AIM would have said something by now.

But still, i wouldn t take the risk. And if people do...i m wondering where this industry is going.

Hepatitis C concerns people of all ages, genders and social states.
junkies sharing needles are of coz at high risk.

Hepatitis C is only transmitted by blood to blood contact .
(well, anal sex and a scratch on the dick, go figure)

btw latest researches lead to the conclusion that smoking (nicotin)
has a hepatotoxic effect. -> If your diagnosed Hep C+ stop smoking immediatly.

Hepatitis C is fully curable if recognized early!
If not treated at an early state it gets chronic with an 80%-90% chance like dumblonde posted.

[Link]

iiyama, i believe you want to muck around,
but if you don't just read my last two posts.

Ah, just to inform the know-it-alls I have Hep A antibodies too.
How come? I don't know maybe some bum coughed at me once.

Does this mean I have Hepatitis A? no way.
The doc explained me that my body once fought a small dose of the exciters and developed antibodies. This is no harm at all, today I'm immunized against HEP A+B due to vaccines.

Short and sweet, a lucky minority of people infected with HCV (hepatitis C virus) have only a short term infection. They get the infection, the body produces antibodies, the body destroys all of the virus, but the antibodies remain. If Lynn no longer has the virus, then she's still testing positive on the antibody test, but she would be negative on a PCR test.

CDC says that a single negative PCR isn't enough to establish that the infection is gone. If the HCV level in the blood is low enough, the PCR won't pick it up. CDC says that you need at least two negative PCRs. CDC generally tries to err on the side of caution. It may be that doctors experienced with HCV have gotten good results with one PCR. I don't know. If you have questions about this, talk to AIM or your doctor.

AIM advertises only the HCV anti-body test on their website. If they are willing to certify that Lynn is no longer infected, then they must have arranged for a PCR.

Canadian government researchers say that when one member of a monogamous couple has HCV, the odds of the other member becoming infected if they continue having sex over a 20 year period are about 2.5%. The odds of getting HCV from working with someone a few times are very low. On the other hand, untreated hepatitis C can destroy your liver and kill you. Dr. Steven York, AIM's medical director, has a simple hepatitis test here that you can do at home. If you are concerned, AIM is advertising the anti-HCV test for about $35 on their web site.

Bottom line: Tiana Lynn's story makes sense. It is possible to have the HCV antibodies but be free of the virus. Under those conditions, AIM is under no obligation to release anyone's private medical records. They may want to think about putting up a page on their website explaining how they determine whether a person has HCV. But that's just a suggestion.

Again, if you're concerned about HCV infection, you can test yourself for hepatitis or you can get the HCV anti-body test at AIM very cheaply. HAV and HBV are much bigger risks for porn performers than HCV. AIM will vaccinate you against both for $150.

Have fun and stay healthy,

Something about this stinks of jealousy and office politics..... but I'm not even going to dare speculating about what else is going on.

I think anyone who reads ALL of the articles about this situation especially ALL the stuff at lukeisback.com can see something isn't right about how this agent has handled this situation. I know Melissa Lauren, Gen Padova, & Wankus hear any type of disease and rightfully so they get tunnel vision not seeing how shady it appears this agent is acting. We all know AIM is a little sluggish and seems not to have the ability to use common sense, but it's been too long for them not to have said something if she had something contagious. It really appears to be a bitter agent to me.

That's just me,

AC Cream

And you dont (don t mean to be agressive at all, but behind your computer / TV, you re safe!)

Maybe that s why i m affraid everytime i hear something like that.

Sorry to worry for my health and other performer's health.

I said "Rightfully so". Meaning I totally understand and respect that you are concerned. I just don't think it's right to want to blacklist her just because of this rumor spread by a shady acting agent. She said she would be condom only until everything is clear and you at the same time can refuse to work with somebody who worked with her. I know that may cost you some work, but I don't think it's cool to stop her from working at all just so you don't lose a couple jobs.

I would be saying these same things in respect of you if you were the female in this situation, so don't take my comments personally.

AC Cream

[Link]

You have nothing to be sorry about. I totally respect you worrying, but until things are clear Blacklisting her doesn't seem very fair.

What if you were in a similar situation Melissa and somebody you trust who knows your personal stuff like that you have a blood disease that 100% can't be transmitted during sex. Then you have a personal split with this person and they go to Gene Ross to smear you. Wouldn't you want people to see your side of the issue?

I would think so,

AC Cream

[Link]

I didn t say to blacklist her.
If you read my first posts, I said that she should get re-tested, and then IF she really has something that can be transmitted during sex, then, yeah, she should never work again.

I don t hink an agent would act like what you said.

I wish someone from Aim would let the industry insiders know exactly what she was tested positive for, and make a statement : can she work or not?

Sadly, things arent like that.

[Link]

Getting up on a soap box on an adult oriented message board does the problem no good. I doubt the right people (the policy makers) are reading the ranting messages of misinformation posted here amongst the pleas for "more gapes and a2m."

Industry insiders that have problems with the process should be taking these issues to the players by calling them directly. I urge them to do so for their safety and the safety of those following in your footsteps.

In thinking about this matter I can see an urgent need for a strong centralized organization and total industry participation. For the safety of the people.

Isn't AIM the central organization that controls testing, results and the distribution of results? Is it not effective or controlled enough? Is there a central database listing every worker's previous test results and previous partners (both on-screen and off-screen contacts with industry workers) available to agents, producers, medical staff and industry workers 24 hours a day? Can working with the California government help fix this or are they looking to impose too many restrictions on the industry?

[Link]

I hope for Tianna's sake AIM will do something. It seems like(after reading the lukeisback.com stuff) she isn't handling all the industry pressure from the agent rumor very well.

AC Cream

[Link]

The smearing is coming from the agent. Gene Ross just puts up what people tell him, but if people check lukeisback.com they can see how to get all sides of an issue instead of just 1 side. Getting ALL the sides and details is how you really become INFORMED.

I don't know if I could agree with you more strongly on some points or disagree stronger on others.

You might be shocked how much Talent or just Fans can get started in these "more gag & a2m" Message Forums/Boards.

Though I strongly agree with you something needs so be done about the testing systems. I think AIM does well with the testing part. I think they just fail in the PR and information sharing side.

AC Cream

[Link]

I'm sure the people in the know could care less what I think. I know if I was on the other side I'd prefer not hearing one-armed typists' "expert" opinions unless I asked for them.

That being said, perhaps a thread should be created so a few insiders can accurately inform us on how things work now (talent, agents, producers, health officials, etc)

[Link]

Besides, we are deep in rumor territory here. Why not wait and see what comes of it? Melissa puts her ass on the line every day, which gives her thoughts a good deal more weight. I have to agree with her about that. Anyway, let's hope Tianna isn't in a bad situation here, and that all resolves soon.

[Link]

But a separate thread would give people a dedicate forum to vent and/or debate.

[Link]

Those tests are HIV, gonnorea, chlamydia and syphillS. All other tests that anyone has done at AIM are as confidential as if you had them done at your private doctor.
